In this study, my goal is to present the results of an on-line research conducted in the autumn of 2020 in Hungary focusing on the labour market situation and opportunities and difficulties of integration of 17-29 aged young people. The aim of research is to improve the labour market situation of young people in the COVID-19 pandemic. The research question is what impact does the pandemic have on the integration of young people into the labour market. It is assumed that the COVID-19 pandemic will have a negative impact on the target group. My work involves quantitative methodology as well as questionnaires filled out by young people on-line.

This study investigates the presence of the European identity with a particular focus on youth in EU member and candidate states. It introduces the most important theoretical and some of the recent empirical works on the subject, and offers a statistical analysis based on the data of the Eurobarometer survey between 2011-2019. This period involves the time of the migration crisis and the end of the financial and economic crisis, which gives an added value to the research. The empirical findings touch upon the relationship of the national identity and the European identity in the countries in question, and a special focus is made on EU citizenship.

Although views related to the traditional perception of social roles are still widespread in Hungary, the participation of women in the labour market has become more and more typical. However, in many cases having children can pull women out of the labour market for years, breaking their career paths. Mothers are more and more disadvantaged by the increase in time spent away, as the knowledge they need to do their job does not develop further or becomes obsolete, which can hold back career prospects in terms of professional development and even lead to a loss of income. Higher education, married marital status, longer previous work experience and higher personal income increase the chances of early return to the labour market, however, in the case of a single (divorced) marital status or married relationship/ partnership, the partner's high income and higher number of children may reduce the chances of this. The aim of this study is to present the development of the planned period of re-employment assumed during pregnancy half a year after the birth – not a typical pathway in Hungary, which concerns only about 3,6% of mothers – and to map the factors along which the early return to the labour market after the birth can be characterized. All these are determined based on the available literature of the topic and the data of the first (pregnancy) and second (occurring at the age of six months) wave of the longitudinal panel research Cohort ‘18 Hungarian Birth Cohort Study launched by the Hungarian Demographic Research Institute in early 2018.

This paper provides a historical and economical overview of the way in which scattered farmsteads in the Great Plain have evolved over time, from their rise to their decline. From the end of the 17th century to the middle of the 20th century, these scattered farmsteads played a crucial role in agricultural production. From 1949, the Hungarian Communist Party limited the opportunities for the construction of new buildings to scattered farmsteads, which lead to a sharp population decline: the share of population living on the Great Plain in scattered farmsteads declined from around 30% in 1910 to 6% in 1990. After the system change in the era of new capitalism, scattered farmsteads are no longer places for living and agricultural production only, but have other functions as well, such as rural tourism, leisure, holiday accomodation, gastronomic services, second homes as horse riding.

The COVID-19 pandemic broke out in Hungary in March 2020 and posed numerous new challenges for social care workers. The daily work activities of social professionals have changed and they had to apply new methods to protect their own and the client’s health. Several guides have been published for professionals and institutions working in social and childcare, which have provided guidelines for the changed daily work. Changes and challenges have taken place not only in their work activities but also in their family lives. Social professionals often had to perform their daily tasks, also take care of their family members under mental and physical encumbrance.

Research carried out this far in Hungary focusing spatial structures were mainly displayed concerning settlements struggling with poverty. Lately, these works have been expanded to examine settlements which are beneficiary of the process of suburbanization.Mostly young citizens with higher social status move into these suburban settlements escalating the number of conflicts with the native inhabitants. Local communities weaken as the newcomers grow in number seeking primarily self-realization or recreation purposes. The exposing social tensions are substantially similar to the axiological characteristics change occurred during the second demographic transition. Beyond the heterogeneous demographic characteristics of the native inhabitants and the immigrants, politics deepens these conflicts by acting on self-interest in these suburban settlements.This paper aims to demonstrate the process of suburbanization by analysing the literature review of the centre-periphery model applied on the Hungarian settlement patterns, revealing the local challenges of two suburban settlement: Budajenő and Tinnye. Exploring and understanding the conflicts caused by segregation and migration on suburban settlements may aid us resolve or ease those tensions.

In the early Hungarian society, multiple forms of cohabitation and marriage were present, often overlapping each other. Separating these forms can only be done by examining certain elements of matrimonial property laws formed by the customary laws of the time. We can only learn about the property laws during the Era of the Arpad Dynasty from written deeds about how these laws were implemented. This study outlines how the different forms of marriage were related to each other and to the property rights of women. It is inaccurate to believe that women in the Middle Ages were disenfranchised, the various forms of marriage had corresponding property laws. Each law and the frequency of their occurrence in these examined documents is discussed in the conceptual system of legal and social history.

In my review of the literature, I aim to present the roles that men play in caring for their young children in the US. On weekdays, the father continues to be primarily a breadwinner, while the image of a fully involved “new father” appears mainly at the weekends. Men are primarily involved in activities that are related to free time and direct interaction to their children. The father’s role in childcare can be influenced by individual social and economic status, such as income, education, labour market position and available time; and also, by his attitude to different gender roles, value priorities and religiosity.

In the rural development trends related to Hungary, the approach of territorial capital can be an effective tool for creating synergies not only for the development of villages, but also for thinking in the region. The presentation of the international and Hungarian literature related to the theory and practical application of territorial capital contributes to the examination of Hungarian relations. In this study, my aim is to present how the concept of territorial capital can be applied and why it is needed in rural development. As a prelude to this, I will briefly show how the countryside is changing after the change of regime and why its development is important.
