Hungary and Work

Published by:

According to Mr. László Kövér, the Speaker of the Parliament, Hungary which currently has a real labour shortage can count on two pillars: One is in the education system, which and the other is the “non-integrated part of the Roma population in Hungary. The education system has been underfunded and is segregating Roma, and Roma, especially in the countryside are forced to work in menial jobs under a public works program…
This is not really promising.
