- Abstract
There are two distinct levels of international migration affecting Hungary: the influences of global migration and the processes between neighbouring countries and Hungary. The characteristic feature of international migration in Hungary is that the majority of the immigrant population are of Hungarian nationality, which is partly due to the consequence of the First and the Second World War. The migration of Hungarian ethnicity from abroad to Hungary does not change the total number of Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin in the short term. However, they are reduced over a longer time horizon, as they have a significant influence on the ethnic spatial structure: locally, in the immigration regions, the number of opportunities have been decreased in line with the declining number of Hungarians, and assimilation may appear. Population movements after the change of regime made it clear that the demographic processes taking place in the Hungarian language community - despite the fragmentation from 1918 and the almost 100 years of fragmentation - can only be known if we examine them together as a unified process. All that happens in Hungary is only part of the demographic processes of the Hungarian language community. The aim is not only to stop the decreasing number of Hungarians in Hungary, but to stop them falling in the Carpathian Basin. Realizing this is not an easy task, because it is against the national interests of neighbouring countries. Of the foreign born population in Hungary the number of migrants, who come from territories of non-Hungarian ethnicity is increasing, and among them the assimilation to Hungarians can be detected, where the demographic processes of the pre-1918 period can be recognized. How can the development of Hungarian population be put in continuity to the centuries before 1918 is questionable. The migration processes described in the study would have a significant impact on the ethnic spatial structure and number of the Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin if the number of other ethnicities did not decrease similarly to the Hungarians. Strengthening staying in the birth country, and increasing the number of returnees and rate of fertility in the whole Carpathian-Basin could solve the problem. The goal would be to increase the proportion of Hungarians to 50% in the Carpathian Basin. The biggest obstacle to this process is the loss of existing population which, due to low fertility and high mortality rates, affects the Hungarian population of the Carpathian Basin.
