Public Discussion
Aug

Saturday
1:30 PM–2:30 PM
MOL-New Europe Foundation – Hencsergő
The language of the event: hungarian

More and more young people are living with their parents longer — often not by choice. Rising property prices, high rental costs, and an uncertain job market all impact the ability to live independently. But is "Hotel Mama" just a generational trend, or are there deeper structural issues at play? In this discussion, experts will explore the economic, social, and psychological aspects of finding a home. They will look at the support systems available, the housing options young people have in Hungary today, and what the future holds for independent living.
