Existence of a National Youth Law

Currently there is no specific youth law but its necessity arose in every government cycle during of the last 10-15 years. Overall, there have been serious professional and political debates, arguments and counter-arguments about whether Hungary needs a law that summarises and regulates the roles and responsibilities of state and local actors in the youth field. (Youth Policy Review, 2016) The current government has no plans to introduce a youth law.
