Hungarian nonprofit sector twenty years after: the situation of the third sector and impact of the economic crisis

Abstract

In my paper, I try to review the situation of the Hungarian civil sector after the regime change. I present its structure, the systemic characteristics and the time‑series changes. The study undertakes the modelling of the Hungarian nonprofit sector by surveying previous attempts at modelling the non‑profit sector. I’d like to emphasize especially the effects of the economic crisis (influenced Hungary in 2008) and the impact of structural and territorial effects of the sector.
