The project titled Targeted Support for the Labour Market Reintegration of Parents with Young Children was launched in September last year with the support of the European Union and the Hungarian government. It provides non-refundable nursery fee support to parents through the Hungarian State Treasury.
On July 28, the Hungarian State Treasury announced that more than 13,000 applications for support have been submitted so far, and support has already been disbursed to over 11,000 parents raising young children.
The co-financed support amount for the project is HUF 6.6 billion, which the Hungarian government supplemented with an additional HUF 6.653 billion in national funding in 2025. Within the framework of the grant, non-refundable support can be claimed by parents of young children who place their child in a nursery or daytime childcare while they are at work in order to return to the labour market. The programme contributes to reducing the financial burden on families with young children and increasing their employment by covering the cost of childcare services.
One of the goals of the Operations of Strategic Importance (OSI) — more commonly known as the Pillars — of the 2021–2027 programming period is to increase the visibility of EU funding and widely showcase the achieved results to the public. One of the designated Pillars within the Human Resources Development Operational Programme Plus is the project titled Targeted Support for the Labour Market Reintegration of Parents with Young Children.
