Emigration Intentions Among Hungarian Youth

Abstract

In our study, we examine the demographic and social characteristics of young people in Hungary who have plans to move abroad based on the last dataset of the Hungarian youth sociology research project, the Hungarian large-sample youth survey. Over the course of the research, 8,000 young Hungarians between the ages of 15 and 29 were interviewed in 2020, and the questionnaire also included questions about moving abroad. The social and economic consequences of emigration are largely determined by the social and demographic composition of the emigrating population.
