Kanyarvételi

Kanyarvételi is a concept in Hungarian sociology that refers to a type of migration where a significant percentage of a population moves from a rural area to a city at the same time. This phenomenon occurs when a rural area faces economic hardship, and young people are forced to leave their homes in search of better living and working conditions.

Kanyarvételi is characterized by the simultaneous movement of a large number of people from a rural area to a city. This can lead to a sharp decline in the population of the rural area, often leaving only the elderly behind. The emigration of a large number of young people can also lead to a shortage of skilled labor in the rural area, exacerbating economic difficulties.

Kanyarvételi is often seen as a response to rural poverty and unemployment. As young people leave their homes, they often bring with them knowledge and skills that are in short supply in the rural area. However, the loss of young people can also have negative social and economic impacts on the rural area, including a decline in local businesses, services, and cultural institutions.

Kanyarvételi is a common phenomenon in many countries, particularly in Eastern Europe. It has been well documented in Hungary, where it has been a major demographic and economic issue since the 19th century. Understanding kanyarvételi is important for policymakers seeking to address rural poverty and develop effective strategies to retain young people in rural areas.
