摘要：International migration is a process looking back upon a very long time, however the cross- border migration is growing to even more and more considerable size in our globalizing world. Our research focuses on the European continent regarding the topic, taking Hungary in the first place into consideration. The migration into the countries, i.e. the immigration was emphasized in our examination, with especial regard to nationality. Due to that the determining role of historical and geographical factors were proved and it also turned out that the greatest part of the flow of migrants towards the western member states of the European Union originates out of the EU, whilst the eastern EU-countries – just like Hungary among them – are the targets of migrants coming from the neighbouring European countries. During our research based on the different data of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, the EUROSTAT and the International Monetary Fund, we found out among others that it is characteristic for the direction of international migration that the flow goes from the relatively poorer countries towards the richer ones. We also examined the potential factors of individual motivation in connection with international migration. The main aim of our paper was to reveal the present tendencies taking Hungary into special consideration, so that we could draw conclusions relating to the tendencies and the phenomenon of the actual international migration with regard to its socio-economic connections as well.
