    In Hungary, traditional family structures involve the wife doing housework and childcare while the husband works. Mothers typically stay home with young children for 1-3 years. Families celebrate holidays and birthdays together and visit with extended family like grandparents. While more young people now live together without marriage, marriage is still seen as important for having children and receiving social benefits as a family. It is difficult to balance career and family in modern life, as long work hours leave little time for family. Different cultures approach family planning and work-life balance in different ways based on their level of development.

    The Family

    Level B1 (alafokú szint)


    These pictures are about family and home. When people fall in love, they get married and have a family. In
    Hungary in a classical family usually the wife does the housework, e.g. hoovering, dusting, cleaning the windows
    and cooking. These are not easy jobs but it is a tradition that women work at home for the family. The husband
    works a lot at his workplace and many times he goes home late. Men work in the garden and in the garage at
    weekends. They do the difficult jobs around the house or in the flat. Mothers spend much time with the children.
    They stay at home with them for 1-3 years. The whole family meets on special days like Christmas and birthdays,
    and they celebrate together. The family usually has a big dinner and there is always a cake for birthdays.
    Relatives like grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins visit each other. They sit and talk a lot. If it is nice weather,
    they sit in the garden or they walk in a park.

    Level B2 (középfokú szint)


    When people are in love they want to get married. This is still the tradition in Hungary although more and more
    young people move together without getting married. They say they do not want the formality of marriage and
    maybe they do not trust each other so much. In Hungary many couples divorce and it also could be the reason of
    not getting married. The modern way of life can lead to an impatiente behaviour and in the end to divorce. When
    people have children it is still important to be formally a family. More social benefits are given to families than to
    single parents. Also a traditional family model is more beneficial for the children in their life. It is important to see a
    man role model and a woman role model in order to ’copy’ the examples. In Hungary it is usually a small family
    that lives together. Grandparents visit or the family visits the grandparents. It can also cause a problem for the
    parents who would need more time to relax and entertain themselves without the children. This way children do
    not see how elderly people live and they do not have a picture of their life. It would be useful to spend more time
    with grandparents and learn to help them.

    Level C1 (felsőfokú szint)


    It is sometimes difficult to cope with private life and career at the same time. Many people try to do so and many
    people fail it. Modern life requires people to work long hours at work thus leaving little time for the family. And who
    is going to suffer? Everybody. When a couple is planning their life, everything seems to be beautiful. Then reality
    appears and work takes over. Even family planning is at risk. How can a woman with a successful career stay at
    home for some years? Or should families have a baby-sitter who will enjoy the special times with the children?
    Families decide this way or other but the two cannot go together in a satisfactory way. While this is an everyday
    issue in the Western world, overpopulation is getting worse and worse in other parts. Family planning is not
    known in many countries, cultures are very different. Where modern life has not reached, people do not face the
    question of career versus family. Other issues appear there though, like nutrition, clean drinking water, healthy
    living, curing dangerous diseases, etc. The governments of overpopulated countries cannot cope with the
    problems and cannot support the families. People need to rely on each other and generations help each other.
    Family ties are live there where modern technology is little.
