This chapter from the Media Market 2025 report examines the evolving media consumption patterns, device usage, and online behaviors of children and adolescents in Hungary. Conducted by the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH), the research analyses youth engagement across traditional television, streaming services, social media platforms (such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram), and gaming consoles. Key findings highlight the early onset of personal smartphone ownership, shifts in content preferences, and exposure to digital risks, including online harms and inappropriate content. The report provides empirical evidence for policymakers, educators, and parents seeking to foster digital literacy and enhance child protection in digital environments.
Methodology
The report draws on a nationally representative survey conducted in late 2024 and early 2025 by the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH). 2,000 children (aged 7–16) and 2,000 parents were interviewed to examine children’s online experiences, digital habits, risks they face, and various parenting strategies and mediation practices in the digital environment.
