摘要:The present paper is an attempt at describing the drastic changes in schooling and employment searching practices of young people in Hungary, relying on works on post-transitional Hungarian youth sociology. It also aims at describing the underlying driving forces of their attitude and behaviour based on representative value surveys. The empirical researches of the past 25 years were conducted along the lines of the main interests of contemporary academic literature such as identity construction, multi-level socialization, autonomy, project capitalism, and decline of institutions, conflict of roles, anomy and fragilization of the individual. The question is: What do the young rely on? Using and combining their skills of various areas of socialization, are they able to come up to the expectations of a changing world that are hard to understand? Or do they resort to the ingrained habits and internalized values of earlier generations as support? As international value surveys show, there is a tendency of conservativization among the youngest, which is even stronger than in the rest of the society. That is why the underlying aim of the examination was how the increasing drive for autonomy characteristic of late modernity is present in the lives of young Hungarian people. The aim of the paper is an introduction of the Hungarian characteristics of the phenomenon. The analysis is carried out in terms of the various aspects of socialization such as family, school, workplace, and friends
