Hungary agrees with the calls for including the perspective of equal opportunities at all levels of policy making, however gender budgeting- or gender analysis is not integrated into macroeconomic policy, government spending and revenue proposals. In order to compensate for the shortcomings that result from the fact that the mainstream understandings of the economy excludes or devalues the so called unpaid economy and the provision of care, we currently support equality goals through social, family and legal policy instruments.   These goals are supported by measures such as supporting the return of mothers with young children to the labor market. The system, amount and duration of cash benefits have a significant impact on mothers' willingness to work. Atypical forms of employment (part-time work, fixed-term employment, job-sharing, home-office) help to maintain a work-life balance and generally a higher proportion of women in employment are supported. Employers who employ mothers with young children returning to the labor market receive a tax benefit.
