Economic success without well being? The case of Hungary

Annamaria Artner

No 209, IWE Working Papers from Institute for World Economics - Centre for Economic and Regional Studies

Abstract: As measured by the most frequently used economic indicators, Hungary has recently seen a good performance. Here, the author presents indicators of the labour market and social conditions in the last decade to examine if this has led to the increase of the well-being of the population. She finds that the majority of these indicators portray an inverted U-turn, from the viewpoint of the majority of the population – illustrating that most of the indicators improved in the first half, but deteriorated in the second half of the period under examination. In most cases, the most recent values show deterioration relative to the beginning of the decade.
