Vészjósló tendencia olvasható ki a 2027-es büdzsé gyerektámogatási számaiból
The 2027 budget proposal indicates a decrease in child support allocations, reflecting a decline in birth rates rather than cuts in per capita benefits. The government plans to reduce funding for maternity support, parental leave, and child-rearing allowances. The number of births in Hungary has significantly dropped, with only 72,000 recorded last year, the lowest since 1949. The fertility rate has also decreased, raising concerns about the effectiveness of family support measures in encouraging higher birth rates. Despite these cuts, family allowances are set to double starting January, significantly increasing monthly payments for families with children.
