Source: Women, Business, and the Law (2013).

The constitution of Hungary guarantees equality for men and women before the law. Men and women have equal ownership

and inheritance rights to property. The default marital property regime is partial community of property. There are no laws

restricting the industries in which women may work. Women are entitled to 168 calendar days of maternity leave with 70% of

wages paid. Men are entitled to five days of paternity leave with 100% of wages paid. Parents are entitled to an additional 1,067 days of partially paid parental leave.

The law guarantees pregnant and nursing women workplace protections from dismissal as well as placement in an equivalent position when they return from maternity leave;

however, the law does not guarantee rights to a flexible schedule. The law stipulates public provision of childcare for children under the age of primary education. The age at

which both men and women can retire and receive full benefits is 65.

QUESTIONS?

Where possible, data is from harmonized regionally comparable sources. All numbers based on microdata in this document calculated

by the Europe and Central Asia Team for Statistical Development (ECATSD) are produced using the 2005 PPPs, as the use of the 2011

PPPs in the calculation of global poverty estimates still requires additional analysis. This note was produced by the Poverty Global
