Summary/Abstract: This study, written in connection with the Year of Hungarian families abroad, examines family-friendly businesses. In the framework of the thematic program year, the Research Institute for Hungarian Communities Abroad conducted a multidirectional research in the major four neighbouring regions: Southern-Slovakia, Vojvodina, Transcarpathia and Transylvania. In this research, we focused on the behaviour of family-friendly businesses. Since 2014 annually published research has emphasized business developments and their impact on families and children in the Hungarian cross-border regions. The interview study presented here was based on a similar idea, with the objective of gaining direct knowledge about Hungarian companies in the Carpathian Basin, especially whose leaders undertook to make their business family-friendly. It summarizes the economic situation in each region during the current period, in order to get an overall comparative picture of all mentioned areas, and to be able to interpret and manage the local difficulties, or benefits obtained by the entrepreneurs, who form a heterogeneous and innovative group considering family-friendly initiatives.
