HUNGARY. The Government Decree 1603/2014 (XI.4.) is the decree on adopting the Hungarian National Social Inclusion Strategy II, the Framework Strategy of the policy of lifelong learning, the Strategy of the Development of Public Education, and the Medium-term strategy against leaving school without qualifications. The strategy has three main objectives: 1) promote lifelong learning, improve accessibility to training; 2) consolidate lifelong learning in the adult education and training system; 3) visibility and recognition of the value and results of learning. According to the preamble of Act LXXVII of 2013 on Adult Education, the aims of the Act are “to make Hungarian inhabitants capable of meeting the challenges of economic, cultural and technological development; enter the world of work successfully; succeed in life and have an improved living quality from adult learning, it is necessary to have better organisation in vocational, foreign language and state-supported training and improve the quality of the content and reinforce the supervision of implementation”. The term adult training refers to organising adult learning outside the school system. It includes vocational training as well as organised training aimed to form and develop competences. From September 2020, the preparation for a vocational qualification or a partial vocational qualification is a high priority in the Hungarian political agenda. The largest group f trainings are vocational qualifications that can be obtained in the framework of VET institutions or in adult training institutions. The training participant receives a certificate after completing the vocational training. This is a prerequisite for a qualifying examination that can be taken at a trainer-independent, state-accredited examination centre. After completing the qualifying examination successfully, the examinee acquires a state-recognised certificate of vocational qualification. Thus, the training institutions and the examination centres are becoming separated. Vocational institutions are qualified as accredited examination centres until 31 December 2025, according to the temporary provisions of the Act on Vocational Education and Training.

HUNGARY. Hungary is a characteristic Central-European country that joined the European Union in 2004, fifteen years after its political and economic transition from communism (state-socialism) to a liberal market-economy with a parliamentary democratic political system. Like its neighbours the country has an ageing and shrinking population, characterized by low reproduction rate, with moderate immigration and significant emigration. In 2018, the population of the country was 9,778,371. Approximately 70% of the people live in urban settings. The capital city Budapest and its agglomeration has about 30% of the total population. The concentration of population in Central- Hungary and in the Western part of the country is significantly higher than in the Eastern and Southern regions. The country’s economy can be considered stable, however much exposed to (dependent on) the Western- European, especially German economic and industrial systems. Hungary’s migration situation is predominantly determined by economic (employment-related) factors. The majority of Hungarians that have left the country since the political transition did so due to attractive employment opportunities and better living standards in Western- European countries or overseas. As for immigration the situation is similar: the main grounds for issuing visas and residence permits to foreigners have always been employment and income generation. Since the economic-political transition the Hungarian labour market has undergone a significant transformation: from virtually full employment in a centrally planned and highly inefficient production and service economy through periods of high unemployment and under-employment to pressing sectoral labour shortages more recently. Migration plays a significant role in Hungary’s recent labour market situation though it is not the only factor that shapes it.
