  We investigate changes in the socio-economical, labor market, and educational situation of the
  Hungarian youngsters from Transylvania; the investigation is based on two large-scale (MOZAIK
  2001 and Youth 2016) surveys. The principal research question is the choice of the paradigm
  from the toolbox of social stratification that can describe the inequalities within this group.
  Our conclusions state that the influence traditional variables diminished, and that horizontal
  differences must be taken also into consideration to better describe stratification.

  According to different statements more and more youngsters, under 25 years of age, appear in Public Work Programs at the present time in Hungary. Even it occurs more frequently that pa-rents, primarily because of financial reasons, take out their children from school, and send them to public workers.This paper draws attention to this phenomenon. Furthermore, it shows a possible paral-lel between those young people who are in JWT (Job Without Training) and those Hungarian youngsters who are working in Public Work Programs reflecting on the Hungarian particulari-ties of this parallel.
  The concept of JWT and its categories are presented, and also which of these categories may connect with the Hungarian public workers’ state of being. Statistical data show the rate of public workers and their gender breakdown. Reports also suggest that the rate of young public workers is growing and their situation may become futureless.The author thinks that the growth of young public workers’ rate and their settled situation in this employment sector is likely to make inevitable for them to become NEET in the future.

  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.

  My study focuses on tertiary education chances and opportunities of disadvantaged and multiply disadvantaged children and youngsters. The target group of the research consisted of disadvantaged full-time secondary grammar school students who aim to get out of their position and status with the help of further education. Via the interviews I tried to examine the difficult topic of further education from the perspective of the disadvantaged and the multiply disadvantaged students, also aspiring to reveal their notions and fears about the topic. The main goal of my research was to get an insight into the perspective and mentality of disadvantaged and multiply disadvantaged students.

  The idea of writing my essay comes from the book ‘Embert barátjáról – A barátság szociológiája’
  written by Fruzsina Albert and Beáta Dávid. I am especially interested in the appearance and
  significance of the typical social capital, i.e. friendship, among the students of the Sapientia
  University of Miercurea Ciuc (Csíkszereda) and that of the ELTE (Budapest). In order to
  investigate the phenomenon of friendship, I chose a qualitative strategy, namely focus group
  research.
  Although I have expected greater contrasts by comparing the students of these two distinct
  locations, I have found that friendship among the interviewed young people constitutes universal value with more common than different patterns.
