Abstract

The first part of the article provides an overview of how the first results of the 2011 census were received. The following chapters present information on major social changes already published in the regional and thematic data compilations of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. Improvement in the educational attainment level of the population is shown by a decrease in less skilled people and increase in those with a secondary school-leaving exam certificate or, in particular, having obtained a university or college degree. In addition to these changes presented by age group and sex, the study also introduces changes in vocations. The examination of the growing stratum of the elderly reveals that people over 60 form a population group that is certainly not homogeneous and in many aspects quite heterogeneous. One striking feature of the changes in family rela-tionships and living conditions is the large and increasing group of persons living alone; their characteristics form the fourth subject of the study.
