Currently in Hungary much more is being spent on support related to disability than in other countries which are at a similar stage of development or which have similar healthcare parameters. In Hungary the number of handicapped people with a job is very low, and the support system is only favorable for some privileged organizations which are invested with special rights.

If the 700 000 people who are currently out of work because of their handicap were employed and if they contributed to production at half the efficiency of the 3.7 million people who are employed, it would increase the Hungarian GDP by 10 percent.
