Abstract: When hearing international migration we can think of two things. One is the emigration process while the other is the wave of refugees. In our study we examined the changes of the number of employees emigrating from Hungary from 2000 until today. Examining the migration potential can be viewed as a very important topic nowadays in Hungary, since the rate of Hungarian emigrants started to grow after 2006 and the rate of growth got faster after 2010. The reason of fastening was the opening of the Austrian and German labor market. The actuality of the topic lays in the fact that international emigration melts the labor market’s processes, influences the given country’s employment level, moreover it has an influencing role on the rate of wages. Emigration from the given state can have several reasons: natural damage, war, marginalization, economic reasons, etc. In our study we examine emigration caused by economic reasons. We have to take into consideration that measuring emigration is hard in every country (in this way, in Hungary as well), due to the deficiency of data. The reason of deficiency is that those who leave for abroad often forgot to report their leaving for abroad. The reason of this is that from March 1, 2013, only the permanent foreign settlement should be reported towards the administration (District Office, Consulate). Earlier, the temporary (more than 3 months) settlement was also obligatory to be reported Many leaving Hungarian forgets that that working on abroad for more than 3 months should be reported in every case towards Social Insurance organizations and Tax Authorities. That is why we emphasize that the introduction of migration potential made by us does not show any direct correlation with the actual migration, however, with the help of this study, the expected measure of moving could be recognized along with the expected composition of emigrants.
