„New services – Employment of youth”
The labour market situation of the region of three counties (Somogy, Baranya and Tolna
county) should be changed. The South-Transdanubian Region is situated in the southern
part of Hungary. In international comparison it belongs to the less developed regions.
There are more than 60.000 registered job-seekers and lots of them have been
unemployed for more than 6 months. The unemployment rate is 12,9 %, which is higher
than the average of the country and that of the EU. One of the reasons of this high
unemployment rate is that there are far too many underdeveloped micro villages without
appropriate infrastructure.
