Measure added | 23 June 2022 (updated 22 November 2022) |
The Institute for Economic and Enterprise Research of the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MKIK GVI) in cooperation with the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (previously with the Ministry of Finance) carry out short-term (one-year) forecasts of labour market changes, providing information on macro-economic indicators, current and expected business situation, characteristics of employment, and labour shortage.
The results of the short-term labour market forecast survey are representative of Hungarian entreprises in terms of geographic location, economic sector, and number of employees.
The survey results are used to analyse the current situation of the Hungarian labour market and to make predictions on the short-term future trends.
Until 2021, one survey was conducted every year. Since then, the survey is conducted twice a year. The research also provides a forecast of expected changes in labour demand for different types of enterprises at the regional level. These projections are useful to companies for monitoring short-term labour market trends, and to the national government, in planning and preparing for shifts in the labour market. Labour demand forecasts are important indicators for economic cycle projections, too.
The research is financed by the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, based on an agreement with the National Office for Vocational and Adult Education.
The following updates to this measure have been made after it came into effect.
15 July 2021 |
Until 2021, one survey was conducted every year. Since then, the survey is conducted twice a year. |
In the spring 2022 a total of 5600 companies took part in this representative survey regarding predicted staff levels in the year ahead.
It is a long-time series and produces comparable survey results: the survey has been conducted since 2011 with unchanged content.
The forecast only focuses on the changes in the following year, while longer-term changes in the Hungarian labour market are currently not considered.
