Labour Market Yearbook

The Hungarian Labour Market Yearbooks series was launched in 2000. We had aimed from the beginning to provide up-to-date results of labour market researches and useful information on the Hungarian labour market tendencies as well as the legislative and institutional background of the employment policy for the GO and NGO organizations of the public employment services, the local governments, the public administration, educational and research establishments and the media. Our detailed analyses focus on a special key issue in each year. Our goal is to create comprehensive and transparently structured yearbooks, which describe both the main characteristics and internal connections of the Hungarian labour market trends based on the available statistics, pieces of theoretical research work and empirical analyses.

THE HUNGARIAN LABOUR MARKET 2016

Blaskó Zsuzsa, Fazekas Károly

The Hungarian Labour Market Yearbook furnishes the pre­sent-day characteristics of the Hungarian labour market and of the Hungar­ian employment policy, and features an in-depth analysis of a topical issue each year. The editorial board has striven to deliver relevant and use­ful information on trends in the Hungarian labour market, the legislative and institutional background of employment policy, and up-to-date findings from Hungarian and international research studies to civil servants, staff of the Em­ployment Service, municipalities, NGOs, public administration offices, educa­tion and research institutions, the press and electronic media. The yearbook series presents the main characteristics and trends of the Hungarian labour market in an international comparison us­ing available statistical information, conceptual research and empirical analysis in a clearly structured and easily accessible format. Continuing our previous editorial practice, we selected an area that we con­sidered especially important from the perspective of understanding Hungar­ian labour market trends and the effectiveness of evidence-based employment policy. In 2015, In Focus addresses the issue of international migration.
