Equal opportunities

The research for social determination of educational opportunities showed significant differences were found between Roma and non-Roma children in terms of parents’ level of education, parents’ employment, source of family income, family size, living conditions, and the number of people living together, all unfavorable to Roma. The results of the research are already all present and accounted for on social debates developed in zhe second half of 2007. Due to the Hungarian-Slovakian Comperative Complex Educational Program for the integration of Roma, the underprivileged and unemployed population, which took apart in the programme (mostly Romas), was reintegrated into society and the labour market with the help of trainings and mentoring, thus improving their quality of life as well as easing the social tensions in the Hungarian and Slovakian area of Zemplén county. The network developed by the programme is fit for application in other parts of the region and suitable for being bases of mutual Roma tenders with the neighbouring East Slovakian regions.

Risk management and environment

Failures so far reached in relation to climate change raise the issue why no meaningful results have been accomplished. Without getting acquainted with the conditions hindering social flexibility, which is the aim of this theoretical research, all further efforts may continue without producing any result. Therefore it is inevitable to get acquainted as profoundly as possible with those obstacles in relation to the economic safety and social stability of the country. One of the prominent research of the institute is a survey of local climate politics and the effects of climate change on the local settlement. According to international patterns and due to our initiative, a community movement has developed all of Hungary to survey the local climate politics. The first, national and local climate change strategies have been made for Tatabánya, Pomáz and Hosszúhetény which had been discussed and accepted by the members of local government. This programme also promotes the realisation of the aims set out in the National Strategy of Climate change still awaiting approval. The analysis of demographic processes point out the effects on the average life expectancy at birth and on the number of births by the difference between a definite and an indefinite viewing of time. This approach opens up a new dimension to analysis which may offer a breakthrough for developed industrial countries in the solution of demographic problems appearing also as an increasingly serious economic issue. Teaching social sciences to medical students may contribute partly to the improvement of their own quality of life and partly to the improvement of the quality of life of people treated by them once they become medical doctors.
