Európai uniós követelmények és kelet-középeurópai realitások között: a részmunkaidős foglalkoztatás szabályozása Magyarországon
Between EU Standards and Central-European Realities: Legislation of Part-time Employment in Hungary

Summary/Abstract: In respect of part-time work, Member States of the Union are divided: in some Member States the proportion of those employed part time is quite big, in some other Member States the number of those employed part time is rather small (countries in Central-Eastern Europe usually fall under this category). However, the relevant Directive of the EU prescribing the equal treatment of part-time workers imposes the obligation to regulate on these countries as well, though increasing the number of part-time workers is nothing more than an objective set in these countries. Declaring equal treatment in the field of labour law contributes to and increases the burdens imposed on employment thus meaning a new challenge to the attainment of this objective, which can only be reached by the state assuming a significant role: by the reduction of the taxes and contributions payable by employers.
