Background
Day by day, we experience the extraordinary labor shortage facing the Hungarian labor market. This is primarily due to demographic reasons.
According to data from the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), between 2017 and 2024, the difference between deaths and live births in Hungary amounted to approximately 370,000 people. In the same period, the difference between those retiring and the number of young people entering the labor market shows that the number of new entrants to the labor market has decreased, or is decreasing, by more than 220,000 people. Several hundred thousand Hungarian workers are currently employed in Western Europe, and since 2010, nearly 370,000 Hungarian citizens have emigrated from the country. We do not count on their return to the Hungarian labor market. Between 2021 and 2031, the working-age population is expected to decrease by about 700,000 people.
To resolve the acute labour shortage, until now companies have tried to employ workers from third countries (mainly from the Ukraine and Serbia). However, it has now become evident that this number cannot be increased any further. We have also witnessed attempts at the employment of Vietnamese, Mongolian and other third-country nationals. Experts are clearly of the opinion, however, that the definitive solution will be to employ workers from India in Hungary.
All the giant market leader companies of the world’s economies have settled in India in recent decades. Key sectors such as microelectronics, the fine chemicals industry, the computer industry, aeronautics, space technology, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals have been created in the country of continental size. Huge industrial centres have emerged, where the automotive industry has grown to astonishing dimensions. In these districts, Indian workers are socialised in the most efficient organisational cultures, using state of the art technology. They are able to perform perfectly under European, Hungarian conditions as well.

*based on estimation
Why is labour force from India ideal?
The largest global corporations settled in India decades ago, so today the second generation of workers has been socialised using the most modern technology. Social hierarchy and religion also require that people work fairly and responsibly. Family is an absolute priority for them. They are here because of their families. They want to earn money to support them.
Low fluctuation
The work permit is valid only in Hungary and for the given company, so the possibility of fluctuation is low.
Language skills
In addition to their mother tongue, they also speak English well, so there is no need to spend time or money on language courses.
Attitude to work
They work honestly and diligently, do their job with due care, and have respect for their superiors.
