This Policy Study offers an in-depth analysis of opinion trends among Hungarian youth from 2000 to 2020, summarising a more extensive publication in Hungarian on this topic. It highlights critical educational challenges, including a decline in progress and the increasing influence of social background on academic outcomes.

The study also examines employment and economic issues, emphasising the need for policies that promote continuous skills development to address these challenges. Additionally, it explores growing democratic support and political engagement among young Hungarians, advocating for measures to counter rising nationalism and foster a more inclusive society. The report provides actionable recommendations for leveraging European policy instruments to address these pressing concerns.

BUILDERS OF PROGRESS

This study is part of the FEPS-led Builders of Progress research series. This research project explores the main concerns and hopes of young Europeans aged 16 to 38. It examines their opinions regarding a wide range of societal issues – including climate change, political participation and the European Union. The research findings intend to stimulate debate and provide informed advice on how to shape a progressive future with and for young people.
