    For parents who work or would like to work, assuring appropriate care facilities for their children is a problem almost everywhere. The lack of adequate childcare facilities that address the needs of working parents and their employers has important implications for women’s labour force participation and gender equality. It also has repercussions for workplace productivity, economic development, child development and the well-being of families and society as a whole. To review the possible solutions for Hungary, the Hungarian Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour in cooperation with the International Labour Office (ILO) organized a seminar entitled “Forms and provisions of daily childcare in Hungary” on 18th September 2009 in Budapest.
