Deklarovanie druhej národnosti v sčítaní z roku 2021 na Slovensku: nové skúsenosti, nové vedecké výzvy
Second Ethnicity Declaration in Slovakia´s 2021 Census: New Experiences, New Scientific Challenges

Summary/Abstract: The declaration of a second ethnicity in the 2021 census in Slovakia marks a significant shift in demographic data collection practices. This census was the first of its kind in Slovakia to allow respondents to indicate multiple ethnic identities. This change not only underscores the increasing diversity within Slovakia's population but also sheds light on the varied positions held by certain ethnic groups within our cultural landscape. The data revealed that the largest ethnic group, Hungarians, predominantly identify as monoethnic. In contrast, the Roma and Ruthenians exhibit a notable proportion of individuals declaring more than one ethnic identity. This phenomenon appears to be influenced by specific geographic and educational attainment patterns. Our research aims to delve into the methodological and psychological aspects of declaring a second ethnic identity. By examining these factors across different contexts, we seek to provide a foundation for future studies in this field. In doing so, we hope to incorporate a broader range of social and spatial parameters to enrich our understanding of ethnic identity dynamics in Slovakia.
