Studying long-term demographic changes is one of the most intriguing areas of the field of demography, especially in cases which focus on a smaller region or a country. The theory of Second Demographic Transition describes best the present and expected demographic changes in the Carpathian Basin and Europe.

Migration, regardless if it is inwards or outwards results in substantial changes of a country’s economic, social, demographic and political structure. The period around the fall of the communism in Hungary is characterized by intensive immigration of Hungarian national minorities from the neighboring countries. The ca. 200,000 people who arrived in the country representing mainly the younger generations have significantly improved the demographic, economic and social outlook of Hungary seen in such factors as new potential workforce supply, positive shift of age distribution, reduction of subsidy loads. The most dynamic source areas of migration were restricted to Transylvania and Vojvodina. The present paper discusses the demographic, social, economic aspects of this two-way migration process focusing on the most affected region of the near-border region of the Southern Great Hungarian Plain and the city of Szeged

Finally, the settlements of Csongrád county are separately evaluated from this type of analytical point of view

A tanulmány a Dél-AlfÖld határ menti térségében az elmúlt 25 év társadalmi és gazdasági folyamatának részletes feltárására törekedett. A polgármesteri és a vállalkozói interjúkat, a statisztikai adatokat, a CD Céghírek 1996-os és 1999-es adatait feldolgozva kirajzolódott egy sajátos helyzetű, egyedi fejlődésű határ menti tér. Ennek a korábban elmaradottnak tekintett határ menti régió gazdaságában és társadalmában a délről jövő letelepülő menekültek sok új innovatív változást hoztak, ugyanakkor ez a változás visszahatott a határ túloldalán maradt magyar kisebbségre is. A dolgozat ezeket a gazdasági és humán kapcsolatokat és azok időben történő alakulását táija fel
