Territorial distribution of unemployment and adult education Northern Hungary Region

Abstract

The present study examines the differences in unemployment problems and adult education activities in the counties of the Northern Hungary region. I would like to point out that well-organized adult education, which is territorially and professionally organized, can be an effective tool for the labour market. I carried out my research by processing secondary databases, I focused on the differences between the three counties of the region. Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County is the county with the highest indicators in the region in terms of both support and the number of participants in adult education. Nógrád County has the highest cost participation rate in the region, therefore it would be important to attract the supported trainings to this area, as the willingness to learn can be demonstrated in the county. In Heves county, due to the more favourable labour market processes, the lack of supported training is less noticeable. Most of the training supported by the European Union is training, competence training and general adult training, which contribute to the acquisition of many competences, but have a large potential and economic impact. So, the sponsor should focus on vocational training, as they will have a much better chance of with a new profession as a competence development training. Training, especially vocational training, should be taught in rural locations, as it could reduce emigration from rural areas.
