- Abstract
Migration statistics describing geographical mobility as a one-way, permanent process are not fully appropriate anymore to keep up with the rapidly changing global trends in the aftermath of the Millennium. However, from a longitudinal perspective on the administrative data -- originally used to measure settlingpurposed emigration and return migration of Hungarians -- tracing back their migration history becomes possible, that lets us identify circular movements and measure durations of stay. In accordance with the data on Hungarian citizens, their mobility patterns since the 2010s have been characterized by both shorter and longer terms movements. Over the past decade, short-term and repeated migratory movements have become increasingly prominent among Hungarian migrants, which indicates that ‚liquid' migration patterns are gaining ground, especially among temporary workers in the industrial and service sectors. Half of those who emigrated at the beginning of the last decade have not yet returned. Since the size of emigrant stocks has been continuously increasing, a greater pool of potential returners have come to exist that include also those living abroad for longer periods. At the same time, by the end of the 2010s, Great-Britain had lost much of its attractiveness, so that only Germany and Austria are considered today as the main destinations for Hungarian migrants.
