ABSTRACT
Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the research is to show how the effectiveness and regional labour market impact of social cooperatives in Hungary has evolved over the past 10 years. Materials and methods: The research database is based on a database of domestic enterprises. It includes data on the assets and income of social cooperatives for the 10 years. Results: We analyse the evolution of the number of social cooperatives in space and time, in parallel with legal and support environment. Focusing on a ten-year time horizon, we have examined the areas where the evolution of the number and activity of social cooperatives has had a greater impact on the labour market situation. Conclusions: We shown that changes in the legal environment have significantly increased the number of social cooperatives. We have shown that, despite the increase in numbers, the cooperatives studied have survived in large numbers.. We have shown a positive contribution to employment.
