3. Employment & Entrepreneurship
The Government's youth employment policies are mainly related to the Youth Guarantee Scheme. Thus the government body responsible for policy making is the Ministry for National Economy (Nemzetgazdasági Minisztérium).
The policy directions also show an increasing emphasis on vocational training, which aligns with the desired directions by the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. NEET young people are a special target group of the Youth Guarantee Scheme. Still, instead of focusing on low-skilled and long-term unemployed youth, support generally depends on individual needs.
Promoting entrepreneurship is also an essential objective of employment-related youth policy. While there is no specific government strategy for developing young people's entrepreneurial skills, the issue itself is addressed in several strategic documents, including the National Youth Strategy 2009-2024, as well as having a big emphasis on public education.
