Young Hungarians judged their work and career advancement opportunities slightly more positively in the second quarter of 2024 than before, but there have been other examples of this in the past 12 years, according to the recent K&H youth index survey conducted among 19-29-year-olds. At the same time, it is as if their respect at work is set in stone.

According to K&H’s latest research, which was conducted among 19-29-year-old urban residents in the second quarter, a double picture can be seen regarding the job satisfaction of working young people, the financial institution announced.

44 percent of those surveyed felt that they were especially or fairly appreciated at work, while 38 percent rated their situation as average in this respect. 14 percent do not really feel appreciated and only 4 percent were those who see that their employer does not appreciate them at all.

A significant difference can be seen among young people who feel respected in terms of the breakdown by age group. This was reported by 52 percent of the 19-25-year-olds, but only 34 percent of the older ones – 26-29-year-olds. In other words, while half of the younger people feel that their work is appreciated, only a third of the slightly older ones do. The series of data looking back over the past 12 years shows that the mentioned ratio of nearly 44 percent corresponds to the long-term average. The situation has therefore remained unchanged for decades.
