Survey Finds Hungarian Youth Passive
Two fifths of Hungarian youth aged 15-29 are disinclined to leave their family home in the near future, a survey by market research company Kutatópont showed. According to the survey, conducted with a representative sample of 8,000 from September to November 2012, 15-19 year-olds planned a family between the ages of 21 and 27.

Those ten years older said they planned one between the ages of 26 and 31. A first child was planned at the age of around 28-29 on average. The survey mirrored the international trend of putting off having a family.

Just 23% of respondents considered it possible to find a job abroad within a few years. A tenth of the sample would be prepared to study abroad, while 19% would leave the country for some other reason.

Eighteen percent of respondents said they would be ready to move to another locality in search for a job and only 11% were considering starting up a business of their own.
