    In our rapidly changing world, it is becoming more and more complex and complicated for
    young people to plan their future, which is perceived as a problem by all who are involved. Issues
    such as one’s relation to democracy, their desire to have children, their intentions to pursue
    further studies, whether they plan their future in their place of residence or abroad or the risk
    of deviant behavior are not only important from the point of view of the individual but also for
    society, as the future of a given region is also influenced by the above indicators of future vision.
    Research methods traditionally applied in youth research, which focus on socio-demographic
    characteristic features (i.e. objective life situation indicators), are less and less capable of
    providing adequate answers to these questions. In my hypothesis, to identify the underlying connections, the research tools of psychology and sociopsychology are also necessary to be
    applied apart from traditional sociological methods.
    Therefore, in my study, by the secondary analysis of the most recent, 2014 data of the
    European Social Survey, I intend to demonstrate the significance of the underlying motivations
    as future vision creating factors behind the decisions Hungarian young people make.

    In this second paper, we are attempting to demonstarte the changes in the political/citizenshiprelated and cultural-historical national identity of the Hungarian ethnic minority in Vojvodina.
    With the end of Yugoslavia as a country this ethnic minority became Serbian citizens. The new
    leaders of Serbia had an adverse view on this ethnic minority until 2014 when the Serbian
    political leaderership changed their political identity and favoured the West instead of EasternEurope.The financial aid provided by the Hungarian Government to the Hungarians living in
    Vojvodina, which targeted cultural and economic development in the area, aimed to better the
    life and strenghten the national identity of this ethnic minority. Those who received financial
    aid developed a better outlook on life. The possibility to acquire Hungarian citizenship easily strenghtened the Hungarian national identity of this minority and contributed to population
    decline. While people migrating to Hungary are primarily motivated by access to better
    education, others migrate to Western Europe for work.

    Several international and national organisations are concerned with the aspect of children. This
    essay examines a special group of children and youth who live in fostercare. Their future aspects
    are basically determined by the break away from their families. Even they area way from their
    familiesf or a short or a long time, becoming an adult is a complex process and many factors
    define their lives. Among these factors the environment of the fosterhome and the relationship
    with the biological family is essential. The essay focuses on two fundamental dimensions of
    becoming an adult: familyplanning and working. Although the desires about their future lives
    are quite diverse, the implementation is similarly difficult for each of them. Those who haven’t got the supportive background are hadicapped in many dimensions. In these cases the
    childprotection has a leading role. The essay attempt stogive an insight to these young adults’
    futureplans while it highlights the dimensions of familyplanning and working.
