Társadalombiztosítási

Társadalombiztosítási, often translated as social security or social insurance, refers to a system of protection in Hungary designed to provide a safety net for citizens against various life risks. This system is primarily funded through contributions from employees, employers, and the state. The core purpose of társadalombiztosítási is to ensure a certain level of income and access to services during periods of inability to work or maintain livelihood.

Key components of the Hungarian social security system include health insurance, which covers medical treatments, hospital stays, and medication; pension insurance, providing retirement income; unemployment insurance, offering financial support to those who lose their jobs; and family support benefits, aimed at assisting families with children. The administration and oversight of these programs are typically managed by state institutions. Eligibility and the amount of benefits received are generally based on factors such as employment history, contribution periods, and individual circumstances. The system aims to promote social cohesion and mitigate poverty by providing essential support and services to the population.
