Absztrakt:

 In our article, combining sociological, legal and political science approaches, we conduct an analysis of survey studies on the reactions of the labour market and its actors to the Covid-19 pandemic and investigate some of the pandemic-related policy measures in Hungary. We study the amount and the context of job losses, the challenges employers and employees had to face, and how the government tried to react to this crisis. The pandemic did not initiate substantial changes either in the form or in the content of policy formation. Although the legislative changes seriously damaged the employees’ individual and collective rights, survey results demonstrate that these did not prove to be overly helpful for the employers either. The Hungarian autocratic regime was not so much interested in effectively tempering the shocking effects of the pandemic, instead, it took advantage of the situation in order to make the country’s political regime even less democratic.
