In the last decade of the XX century the Hungarian society is in for a cogent possibility since it may participate in a closed European integration process.

It covers three counties (Békés, Hajdú-Bihar, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok) which are characterised by different dimensions of regional disparities.

The analysis of the regional influences obtain a picture about the development of the employment status of the last 18 years, the sociological relations of families and the circumstances of life and the ambition of those people utilised the above mentioned transfers.
