The causes of the migration of the Hungarians from Vojvodina

Nowadays, migration is the subject of diverse and passionate disputes. This paper tries to analyse the mechanisms which appear as complex local problem in the life of the national minorities. Is migration a characteristic of all ethnic minorities? If it is typical, then how it can be quantified? Are the political aspects of the process and the role of national features expressed when a family decides to emigrate? Are cultural goods important in the everyday life of immigrants and whether the newcomers (migrants) have an impact on the value of the Hungarian settlements? The study is an answer for some expressible and inexpressible facts.
