In 1994, the United Nations designated 15 May as the "International Day of the Family". The initiative draws attention to the family as the most important unit of our society. The Fundamental Law of Hungary protects the institution of marriage as a commitment between one man and one woman, based on voluntary consent, and the family as the foundation of national existence. The family relationship is based on marriage and the parent-child relationship. The mother is a woman, the father a man.
There was a regime change for Roma issues in 2010, at which time the government began to build a work-based society in place of the previous hand-out based one, said Attila Sztojka, Government Commissioner for Roma Relations, at a conference in the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS). The event also saw the launch of a thematic issue of the KINCS magazine Kapocs, this issue focusing on Roma families.
Despite the current difficult economic situation caused by the Brussels sanctions, the government does not renounce its core values, protects family support measures and has even further expanded them from 1 January 2023. The recently introduced elements are considered important and useful by Hungarians, according to the latest research of the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS). According to the survey, four out of five people say that the PIT exemption of mothers under the age of 30 and the waiving of their student loans are of great help to families, and there is almost unanimous support for the additional family tax allowance for children with long-term conditions or severe disabilities.
More than 80 percent of Hungarians think that motherhood is the most beautiful vocation for women, according to the latest representative survey by the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS) conducted on the occasion of Mother's Day. The survey also found that more than two-thirds of Hungarians believe that women do not have to give up their careers for motherhood and child-rearing, and almost as many believe that motherhood fulfills women.
96% of mothers with young children are engaged in some form of work at home, work that often goes unseen and unnoticed, with married mothers being the most likely to share these many tasks. These are some of the findings of research by the Foundation for Healthy and Harmonious Families (EHCSA) and the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS). Two thirds of respondents believe that there is a monetary value to housework and unpaid care work. The survey also found that mothers with large families receive the most help, although they also have the most workload at home. Today is International Day of Unpaid Work.
The vast majority of Hungarians (87 percent) agree that mothers should be supported in the labour market and women returning to work after childbirth should receive help, according to research published by the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS) on the occasion of International Women's Day. Most of those surveyed prefer to work with a superior who has children, be it a man or a woman.
