The number of adults planning to emigrate in the 1990s was 5-6%, but that figure had doubled by 2001 and tripled by 2011, Tárki research fellow Endre Sík said in a statement.

In early 2013 13% of the adult population are prepared to work abroad for a few weeks or months, 11% are ready to live outside of Hungary for a few years and 6% are ready to emigrate, primarily to Austria, Germany and Great Britain.
