Description
Despite Japanese-based automotive parts supplier giant Takata declaring bankruptcy in Japan and the United States, Takata Safety Systems Hungary is continuing production and even expanding its capacity at its Miskolc factory in northeastern Hungary. In the coming months the company is adding 200 people to its current staff of 1,400 people.
The Miskolc airbag production plant was built with a HUF 20 billion (EUR 68 million) state grant in 2013, and Takata Safety Systems Hungary was named a strategic partner of the Hungarian government.
Takata's operations are divided into four independent regions, and while the Japan and the Americas region suffered the consequences of the largest ever vehicle recalls due to faulty products of the company, the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region, which includes Takata Safety Systems Hungary, continues to have a strong financial basis.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
