Corruption, poverty, healthcare – What Hungarians worry about the most

The topics of corruption, propaganda, severe labour shortage in the fields of healthcare and education have been widely reported, as well as how poor some Hungarian regions are. But among these negative factors, which are the most intense and cause the most amount of anxiety for Hungarian residents?

Kafkadesk reported that in Hungary, the most severe issue identified by respondents was healthcare (69% of respondents naming it among the top three worrisome topics, the single highest rate in the world), followed by financial and political corruption (53%, fourth-highest worldwide). Also, Hungarian residents are mildly concerned about the state of education (28%), unemployment and jobs (17%), climate change (13%), as well as crime and violence (11%).

Other topics include Hungary’s moral decline (10%), threats to the environment (7%), taxes (7%), rise of extremism (7%), inflation (6%), immigration control (5%), terrorism (4%), maintaining social programmes (4%), childhood obesity (2%), and access to credit (2%).

It is no wonder that the top three most worrying topics are healthcare, financial and political corruption, and education.
