Key issues concerning the employment of third-country workers in Hungary – new rules on "labour imports"

Absztrakt

As Hungary faces increasing labour demands, the number of migrant workers from non-EU countries has increased significantly. The aim of this paper is to present recent Hungarian legislative measures in the field of immigration and labour law that respond to the problems raised by third-country workers and also to highlight some Corporate Social Responsibility/Responsible Business Conduct aspects of the employment of third-country nationals in Hungary. While the new legislation seeks to address labour market needs and maintain social cohesion, challenges remain, particularly in protecting employees' rights and promoting responsible business practices.
