Summary/Abstract: After the Compromise in 1867, Hungary, during the embourgeoisement process, underwent a huge economic and social development. However, general upturn did not characterise the whole territory and population of the country evenly. Especially the peripheries characterised by adverse natural, more archaic social and economic structures suffered from lagging, which resulted in emigration and inward migration as a remarkable consequence. The key issue in economic and social modernisation was the competitive agriculture, which could provide a decent living at the same time, the development of a healthy farm structure as a criterion for the former, and dealing with industrial employment of large redundant workforce disengaged from agricultural sector with accelerated industrialisation.
