Abstract

Mélyinterjúkkal és célzott kérdőíves felméréssel vizsgáltuk, hogyan hatnak a lejárt tartozások a munkavállalásra, a bankszámlahasználatra és az egészségi állapotra Magyarország egyik legelmaradottabb térségében, ahol még a Covid-válságot megelőző, prosperáló időszakban is sokan éltek pénzügyi kirekesztettségben. Azt találtuk, hogy a büntetőkamatokkal megnövelt, reménytelen nagyságúvá eszkalálódott tartozások miatt sokan arra rendezkedtek be, hogy bujkálnak a behajtás elől: nem vállalnak bejelentett munkát, nem nyitnak bankszámlát, és emiatt folyamatos stresszel kénytelenek együtt élni. A lejárt tartozások így egyfajta szegénységicsapda- mechanizmust hoznak létre, és számottevő jóléti veszteségeket okoznak egyéni és társadalmi szinten egyaránt. A döntéshozóknak nagyobb figyelmet kellene fordítaniuk a hitelciklusok tompítására, illetve a kialakult nemteljesítő adósságok rendezésére, különösen ebben a törékeny társadalmi csoportban.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: G51, G53, I38.
