Survey Results on Education, Personal Network and Mobility in Komárno

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on university graduates and non-graduates in the southern Slovakian town Komarno using the results of a recent survey conducted in 2021. Komarno is not only a university town for the Hungarian minority but also an ethnically diverse place. This paper aims to describe the characteristics of the inhabitants of Komarno from the perspective of education, personal networks, and mobility based on the survey results. The number of university graduates has increased over the past decade, especially among the young Hungarians minority in Komarno. In addition, despite their population mobility, the personal networks of inhabitants beyond ethnicity reflect the characteristics of multi-ethnic towns.
