The young and the elderly

The ageing of the Hungarian and European population, that is, the increase in the proportion of the elderly and the simultaneous decrease in the proportion of the young is a long-term process. During the change in the demographic makeup of society, we can observe differences in the living conditions of social groups of various ages, and the change in certain processes and phenomena (e.g. start of career, retirement) are connected to certain clearly delineable age groups. On this page we have collected contents by age group and about special age groups from various statistical domains.

Hungary, quarters 1-3 of 2023 – On the path of disinflation

The GDP volume lagged behind the same period of the previous year’s level by 1.2% in the 1-3 quarters of 2023, however the fact that the 3rd quarter’s economic performance outperformed the previous quarter by 0.9% signals the end of recession. The setback of domestic consumption is the cause of the 1-3 quarters’ decrease, while the balance of the external trade improved significantly. The inflation growth rate continuously slowed down following its January peak, as a result real wages, after a year-long setback, started to grow once again in September.
