    In many border regions of our country, we are witnessing the unfavourable development of socio-economic processes, which also affect the pace of future development and the processes expected in the settlements. Borders, especially in the eastern part of the country, have changed several times, repeatedly blocking the development of a region (Pénzes et al. 2011). Borders can isolate settlements from each other, thus hindering development rather than stimulating connections (Reichman, 1993). In many cases, the impassability of the border itself, the lack of border crossings or their remote location make it difficult to reestablish connections as a functional unit (Pénzes, 2012).

    The situation of young people, their chances and opportunities on the labour market are of paramount importance for society, as they are the next generation. In this paper, we present the situation, labour market opportunities and mobility of young people in the Derecske district, based on data from a 2012 survey. Young people's access to work and mobility are nowadays much debated issues that deeply affect the whole society. We focus on the prospects of young people with a degree.

    Research on young people, youth research, is very significant in our country.

    From time to time, the situation of young people undergoes fundamental changes: they reach adulthood earlier than previous generations, but at the same time they are also delayed in their youth, i.e. they start the process of separating from their parents later. This phenomenon of postponement is called postadolescence. On the one hand, they are still children (in terms of their behaviour, values and lifestyle), and on the other hand, they are already adults (in terms of their political and economic situation) (Vaskovics, 2000; Gábor, 2012).
