International migration and official migration statistics in Hungary
International migration and official migration statistics in Hungary

Summary/Abstract: The challenges that official migration statistics face in the 21st century are manifold. In line with intensifying globalisation processes, and new patterns and types of migration, new routes and new migrant identities have been emerging. However, the new trends also offer new, potentially usable data sources, tools, and methods for the meas-urement of this changing phenomenon. At-tempting to provide an overview of the Hungarian migration statistical system, the aim of this paper is to promote inter-disciplinary scientific dialogue on migration and share some of the most important figures and trends of international migration in Hungary, highlighting its remarkable geo-graphical aspects in the European context, and the peculiarities, challenges, and opportunities of its measurement.
