This international review of Hungarian national youth policy is the

fifteenth in the series started in 1997 by the Directorate of Youth and

Sport of the Council of Europe. Like preceding reviews, it aims to fulfil

three distinct objectives:

- to advise on national youth policy;

- to identify components which might combine to form a harmonised

approach to youth policy across Europe; and

- to contribute to a learning process in relation to the development

and implementation of youth policy.

Hungary, at its own request, embarked on an international review

to benefit from ten years of reviewing experience and to contribute

to the European exchange of information on youth policies. This

report includes information gathered by the international review

team as well as its analyses and recommendations concerning the

development, perspectives and challenges for the future of youth

policy in Hungary.
