Hungary

Hungary has been a member state of the ILO since 1955.

The ILO has assisted Hungary in its economic and labour market transformation and in its accession to the EU in 2004. Main areas of work included:

  • establishing and strengthening social dialogue and tripartism
  • examining the effects of privatisation and transition
  • developing new active labour-market programmes including vulnerable target groups
  • modernising labour legislation
  • adopting international labour standards
  • supporting pension reform and a sustainable social security system

Currently, there is no cooperation with ILO constituents in Hungary. However, Hungary has been hosting the ILO Office for Central and Eastern Europe for 30 years. The office opened in Budapest in 1993.
