Kidolgoznak

Kidolgoznak is a Hungarian term that translates to "child labor" in English. It refers to the practice of employing children in various forms of work, often in hazardous or exploitative conditions. The concept of kidolgoznak has been a subject of significant debate and legislation in Hungary and other countries, as it raises concerns about child rights, safety, and the potential for long-term negative impacts on a child's development.

Historically, kidolgoznak has been prevalent in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and domestic service. However, with the ratification of international conventions and the adoption of national laws, there has been a gradual decline in its prevalence. In Hungary, the Labor Code and other relevant legislation prohibit the employment of children under the age of 15 in most workplaces, with some exceptions for specific types of work and under strict conditions.

Despite these legal protections, instances of kidolgoznak can still occur, often due to enforcement challenges, economic pressures, or cultural norms. Organizations and advocacy groups continue to work towards raising awareness, promoting education, and enforcing laws to protect children from exploitation and ensure their right to education and safe working conditions.
