Many Hungarians believe that children should take care of their retired parents, but only a tenth of them expect to receive money from them.

A recent survey reveals that many Hungarians believe individuals share equal responsibility with the state for their retirement. While most trust their children for support, few expect help from civil organizations. Many workers are uncertain about their future state pensions, with a significant number relying on personal savings and investments. The survey shows that two-thirds of active workers save for retirement, with higher rates among men and those with higher education. Despite this, many still fear financial difficulties in old age. Experts emphasize the importance of starting savings early to ensure better financial security in retirement.
