  This paper presents the group of domestic commuters who can only go home and meet their
  families – in the best case – once a week. It is based on a survey conducted in 2019 in which
  24 commuters together with their family members at home were interviewed about why they
  had decided on working far away from home. Looking for similar and different characteristic
  features, we have analyzed the interviews in terms of the respondents’ educational qualifications.
  Our results prove undoubtedly that the lower qualifications the respondents have, the fewer
  job options they will have; moreover, they are also in vulnerable position concerning getting
  accommodation, spending free time or finding suitable means of transport to go home.

  The study looks for answers to the question: what are the reasons behind staying in small mu- nicipalities, especially in highly disadvantaged villages, when moving into cities offers obvious advantages. We have analysed the motives, as well as attractive and repulsive factors based on 104 interviews, in case of 13 municipalities. The interviews convincingly certify that the decision about moving or staying in one place is a complex, multifactorial process. In this, employment opportunities have an undeniably important, however, not completely exclusive role. It is cor- related with the demographic characteristics, gender, age, family status, labour market para- meters, education level, financial characteristics, individual peculiarities, health status of the individual, as well as with its attitude towards changes, ethnic background, and its contentment concerning the given settlement.
