Description of the research project

The objective of the MAINSOC project is twofold.

Second, to analyse the role of government policies, social partners’ involvement, and industrial relations institutions in managing the inflation crisis, adapting to a new scenario, and guaranteeing inclusive growth in six EU countries (DE, DK, ES, IT, HU, PL).

•        Conduct literature and database searches and present the findings of literature

•        Provide a quantitative analysis of real wage dynamics in Hungary, before and during the inflation crisis;

•        Analyse those sectors and groups of workers more negatively affected by the inflation crisis;

•        Analyse the relationship between institutional variables related to the wage-setting system and real wage dynamics and distributional impact of the crisis;

•        Analyse the evolution of indexation mechanisms in public sector wages and the role of social dialogue and collective bargaining

•        Analyse indexation mechanisms in minimum wage-setting and the role of social partners in negotiating them
