THE EFFECT OF THE SUB-PRIME CRISES ON WORKPLACE SAFETY IN HUNGARY BASED ON A PRIMARY RESEARCH

Abstract

Following the eruption of the greatest crisis in the new millennium, the crisis has spread worldwide at a record pace including every economy, region and has left all of them ruined. The crisis, thanks to the global money markets, has reached the whole world, each of its sectors and players. One of the largest loser of the crises was the household sector, because the companies’ first step was the drastic cutback of the number of the applied workforce. The workplace safety decreased significantly in 2008 and 2009 based on this. The aim of our study was to analyze this effect with a different age, sex and educational level based on respondents' personal perception by a primary questionnaire research
