During a recession, economic growth slows. This can lead to higher unemployment which in turn results in lower consumer and company spending which in turn leads to decreased company revenue and profit, lowering the fundamental value of stocks.
Lower investor confidence contributes to market decline as investors move to safer assets (defensive stocks, bonds, CDs, money markets). Some people, particularly the newly unemployed, pull money out of the market just to meet basic needs.
