Number of Filipino workers in Hungary revealed
Currently, there are nearly 10,000 Filipino migrant workers in Hungary, and this figure is expected to multiply by 2024.
Rowena Paragasa, Vice President of the Philippine Association of Employment Agencies (PASEI), said that there are currently 8-10,000 Filipino guest workers employed in Hungary. In Europe, there are about 100,000 Filipino workers, mainly in the health, manufacturing, hospitality and logistics sectors.
Filipino workers are in high demand within the labour market. Hungary offers a monthly pay of only EUR 550-600 compared to the range of EUR 1,500-1,700 in Western Europe. However, Hungary provides additional perks such as free accommodation, complimentary travel to the workplace and food subsidies.
The challenge in Hungary lies in the inability to settle here long-term, in contrast to Austria and Germany, HR Portal writes..
“Many cry with joy when they step on Hungarian soil. One of their first trips is to a Roman Catholic church. Those who arrived in the spring and summer have just seen snow for the first time in their lives,” says the manager.
