Living on minimum wage

Hungarian public worker Gabriella Bundi, 44, and her daughter Reka, 11, sit in their kitchen in Debrecen, 240 km (149 miles) east of Budapest, May 28, 2013. Gabriella, who has been unemployed for three years, takes temporary menial work mandated by the government in exchange for unemployment benefits. Her husband works odd jobs. From this and meagre social benefits, she and her husband bring home about 250,000 forints, or $1,200 per month. The couple have five children, a son-in-law and a grandchild living in their home.
