The figure is contrast to the majority who benefited from years of accelerated productivity growth, soaring equity markets and relatively low unemployment rates. The typical Hungarian family increased its net worth significantly as house prices, stocks and wages rose. But quietly in the shadows is a sizeable proportion of people who have been left behind, with little hope of catching up in the near future. In Budapest alone, authorities estimated that the number of homeless doubles to 30,000 during wintertime. ***

AND NATURE OF CHILD LABOR - Children work as beggars in urban areas, and also as prostitutes,
according to Budapest Police, although the scope of the problem is
unknown. Schools in ethnic Roma
communities are in markedly poorer condition, and according to UNICEF, less
than 2 percent of Roma children graduate from secondary school. Bur of Democracy,
Human Rights & Labor - Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 CHILDREN - The government was committed to
children's rights. The law provides for compulsory education, which was free through
age 18 for children who were born after 1997. The Ministry of Education
estimated that 95 percent of school‑age children were enrolled in
school, although the drop-out rate for Romani children was much higher than
for the overall student population. NGOs reported that only 10 percent of
Romani children complete high school, compared to 80 percent of the general
population. Concluding
Observations of the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - 1998 [14] While the Committee notes
with appreciation the measures taken by the State party, including the
adoption of government resolution No. 1093/1997 on a package of medium-term
measures intended to improve the living standards of the Roma population, it
remains concerned about the persistence of discriminatory practices against
this minority group. [34] The Committee recommends that
the State party envisage undertaking further measures to prevent and redress
unequal access to health services and to the education system between the
rural and urban population, and in particular to facilitate the access of
Roma children to health and education. The Committee also recommends that
health services and medical supplies be equally distributed between and
within the local governments. Schools and vocational training should be made
accessible to poor children and those living in rural areas, especially
children belonging to the Roma population. Business Hungary - Shadows Of Poverty www.amcham.hu/businesshungary/17-08/articles/17-08_34.asp ONE-TENTH

homelessness covers a broad range of living situations, we decided to
distribute the cameras not only to people who were at the most extreme case
of sleeping rough, but also cameras were given to people sleeping in
overnight shelters, women's shelters, young people's shelters, and the longer
stay one month contract shelters. Innovations for the elderly. A permanent shelter for

There is a new batch of homeless: young people, who are released from state foster care where they can stay up to the age of 24 and then have to go out. They have no money, nowhere to go, no jobs and immediately become homeless. All material used herein
