The document discusses socio-economic issues in Hungary, particularly the southern Great Hungarian Plain region. It notes that Hungary's population is decreasing and aging, resulting in fewer working-age people and more retired individuals. This poses challenges for education, retirement, and elderly healthcare systems, requiring reforms. The entire socio-economic structure of Hungary therefore needs reorganization.

2. Socio-economic Structure in Hungary with Special Attention to Southern Great Hungarian Plain Region The major issues of Hungarian demography are the decreasing population and the increasing average age. The number and proportion of (potentially) active employees have been continuously decreasing. The number of school and higher education attendees is decreasing, while the number of retired people is increasing. Thus the education system, the retirement-fund system, as well as the elderly health care system needs to be reformed. Consequently, the entire socio-economic structure of Hungary needs to be re-organized.
