The journal has a broad scope in terms of geographic and thematic coverage. We encourage comparative analyses beyond Central and Eastern Europe about demographic processes, migration, family formation and related social phenomena.</p> <p><strong>Imprint</strong><br>Responsible publisher: Zsolt Spéder director<br>Editors: Attila Melegh, Lívia Murinkó<br>Publisher: Hungarian Demographic Research Institute <br>H-1024 Budapest, Buday László utca 1-3.<br>ISSN 1787-940X (Print) <br>ISSN 1787-9566 (Online)</p> www.demografia.hu/en en-US Demográfia English Edition 1787-940X https://demografia.hu/en/publicationsonline/index.php/demografiaenglishedition/article/view/981 <p>Age vs. death cause diversity curves seem to be the appropriate objects to study death cause diversity. The findings of the present paper are consistent with earlier findings of ad-hoc methodological pilot studies. The paper serves as a significant reference for further studies on epidemiological diversity or concentration. The diversity of death causes has become an important population character to be investigated recently. Its variations treated in the paper may correlate with other demographic characteristics of the population. Furthermore, the revealed variations in death cause diversity refer to the need for standardisation before comparing death cause diversities of various populations.</p> <p><br>Keywords: diversity, concentration, death causes, age dependence, sex differences, secular changes</p> Rudolf Izsák, János Izsák Copyright (c) 2023 Demográfia English Edition 2023-07-31 2023-07-31 66 5 5–17. 5–17. 10.21543/DEE.2023.1 https://demografia.hu/en/publicationsonline/index.php/demografiaenglishedition/article/view/983 <div class="v1gmail_default"> <p class="v1MsoNormal"><span class="v1gmail-Szvegtrzs2"><span lang="EN-US">This paper provides an overview of the relevant theoretical frameworks of well-being and migration and the links between the two concepts. The article is part of the theoretical preparatory work for the MIGWELL project. We argue that subjective well-being should be a key concept in migration research, because increasing it at the individual level is a universal human desire. From this perspective, migration – if it is truly voluntary – may be a tool to reach the desired outcome of increasing well-being. In general, micro-level approaches are more suitable for linking subjective well-being and migration. In particular, the "new economics and sociology of migration", the "network theory" and the "capabilities approach" offer the implicit or explicit possibility to do so. Regarding well-being, we apply a hybrid approach, inspired by both the OECD and the WeD concepts. </span></span><span class="v1gmail-Szvegtrzs2"><span lang="EN-US">Finally, in this paper we propose a research design that may be suitable (with some limitations) to capture the two-way relationship between the two concepts: the impact of subjective well-being on migration intention and the effect of migration on subjective well-being.</span></span></p> </div> <div class="v1gmail_default"> <p class="v1MsoNormal"><span class="v1gmail-Szvegtrzs2"><span lang="EN-GB">Keywords: migration, well-being, satisfaction, happiness, theory</span></span></p> </div> Ádám Németh, Borbála Göncz, Josef Kohlbacher, György Lengyel, Attila Melegh, Zsolt Németh, Ursula Reeger, Lilla Tóth Copyright (c) 2024 Demográfia English Edition 2024-07-01 2024-07-01 66 5 19 69. 10.21543/DEE.2023.2
