Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the government is building a "family career model".
PM Orbán said that under this career model, a young adult who is employed - whether they are a man or a woman - will not have to pay personal income tax until they turn 24.
If she is a woman and chooses to have a child, she will be exempt from paying personal income tax until the age of 30, he said, noting that mothers with at least two children receive a lifetime exemption.
Because this is a "very large sum in terms of the state budget", the measure is being introduced in multiple phases, the prime minister said.
PM Orbán said the government was convinced that the key to mothers choosing to have children was their sense of security. "The ideal situation would be for mothers to be able to rely on healthy, vigorous, working and well-earning men," he said. But, he added, mothers were concerned that they may not find such men or may end up alone "and suddenly all the worries and the financial burden of raising children fall on them".
The government is therefore working to help give mothers a sense of security so that they can raise children, he said.
