Govt mulls job protection measures for mothers with young children

Hungary's government could soon take a decision on new measures that aim to protect the position of mothers with young children on the labour market, daily Magyar Nemzet said on Thursday. The measures primarily aim to help mothers raising children under six years of age find part-time work, government commissioner for improving women's employment Piroska Szalai told the paper. The measures could include ones affecting tax and labour regulations, she added. Several ministries are working on the details of the measures.
