In Hungary, personal household services (PHS) consist of home care and domestic work, with home care including social support and personal care, if needed. Local governments have the legal obligation to provide home care, while the central state offers support mainly through different types of allowances for people taking care of children, elderly or disabled relatives. As the state is the main employer in the sector, work arrangements mostly consist of public sector employment models, except for the case of domestic workers, who are directly employed by households. The state also oversees the training of PHS employees in the form of qualification courses for “domestic helpers” and “domestic care workers”. Personal care provision is limited to qualified care workers, while social support services may be offered by volunteers or domestic workers, too, with domestic workers often being unemployed persons working under the public work scheme regime.
