Summary/Abstract: Bačka, as well as the other parts of Vojvodina, is the place of constant migrations. These migrations had different causes in the past. The main causes were of economic, social, religious, ethnic and political nature. They are forced movements or volontary ones, massive or individual, random or planned. All above mentioned causes of migrations were present in Bačka in the past. During and after the Second World War a certain number of Germens moved out, and afterwar migrants came instead of them, mainly from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, and south Serbia. In 1961–1991 period migrations were usually caused by economic reasons, mostly being those towards towns causing depopulation of villages. However, bigger regional centres are more attractive than other towns.At the end of 20th century massive migrations occurred in ex-Yugoslavia. In those migrations somewhat more than 125,000 inhabitants moved to Bačka.
