“…Besides that, although using migration intention data is an ordinary practice in migration literature, it has to be emphasized that articulation of intention to migrate is only a necessary but not sufficient condition to actual migration. As Carling and Schewel (2018) and Gödri and Feleky (2017) argue, certain barriers may prevent actual migration even if one aspires to move. Consequently, further research -if it is possible -is needed on actual migration data in order to test the robustness of our results.…”

The role of loyalty in migration intentions: theory and evidence from the EU

Free movement of persons is one of the fundamental values and achievements of the European Union, however, intentions towards mobility vary across and within the member states. Economic literature has remarkable theories to explain migration flows and individual selection factors of potential migrants, but it ignores major achievements of other social sciences. This paper builds an economic framework to incorporate the Hirschmanian concept of loyalty into the microeconomic (human capital) model of international migration by using interdependent preferences. Hirschman assumes that even after exiting, loyal people care about their previous communities, thus it imposes a certain psychological ‘exit tax’ on them. Based on this concept, it is hypothesized that people with altruistic motives have weaker intentions to migrate, so the presence of loyalty towards others makes international migration less likely, conveying that loyalty towards local or national community may be responsible for moderate labor mobility among EU member states. Results show that attachment to one's country makes one's intention to move abroad in the near future less likely, while loyalty towards one's city has more moderate impact on their intentions.

Hungarian Demographic Research Institute launched a birth cohort study entitled 'Growing Up in Hungary -Cohort '18', which follows children born in Hungary in 2018 and 2019 on a large nationally representative sample. The main objective of the research program is to provide a comprehensive overview of child development and its influencing factors in Hungary. Conceptual framework of the Cohort '18 study presents theoretical and methodological background of the research.

Recent investments in human capital can be expected to pay back in terms of extended labor market careers in the future.…”

Participation and Postponed Retirement in Central and Eastern Europe

This paper shows how the effective retirement age rose in eight countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia) between the mid-1990s and the mid-2010s. It finds that the increase was fast enough to keep life expectancies at the effective retirement age practically unchanged. Every day an average worker of the region got closer to the effective retirement age by only 18.4 hours, instead of 24, because the effective retirement age was moving. In effect, the labor market absorbed all improvements in life expectancies in older working ages. The paper also shows how the educational composition in older working age, specifically in the 55-64-year-old age bracket, improved over the same period, establishing the growth of the effective retirement age. This relatively recent shift is traced back to human capital investments made decades before, specifically the spread of secondary education starting in the 1960s. Finally, the paper shows that maintaining the current life expectancies at retirement over the next 30 years requires less effort in terms of further raising the effective retirement age than what the region achieved in this respect in the last 15 years. Since the countries discussed improved their education systems in recent decades by expanding tertiary enrollment among currently young cohorts, an additional increase in the effective retirement age in the future can be expected, possibly even fending off most of the potentially negative effects of declining mortality. . Any remaining errors are those of the authors.2 Population-weighted regional averages based on the baseline population projection of Eurostat.
