Attila Melegh is a Hungarian sociologist and the president of Demographic Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.[2] He is currently Associate Professor at Corvinus University of Budapest,[3] and a Senior Research Fellow at Hungarian Demographic Research institute.[4]

Early Life and Education[edit]

Melegh obtained dual Bachelor's degrees in Sociology and Economics from Karl Marx University of Economic Sciences.[5] His thesis, entitled A tizenkilencedik század eleji városi háztartások Buda Újlakon [Family and Household Formation in Buda in the Early 19th Century], underscored his early academic pursuits.[6]

On June 8th, 2002, he completed his Ph. D. in History in University of Debrecen, with his dissertation titled Population Change and Agrarian Towns between the 18th and 20th Centuries. In April 2021, Melegh was conferred the title of Dr. Habil from Corvinus University of Budapest for his work Comparative Analysis of Demographic and Migratory Processes and Discourses: Methods and Problems.[7]

Career[edit]

Melegh has held several academic positions throughout his career. From 1997 on, he has been working as a Senior Researcher at the Demographic Research Institute.[4]

In 1996-1997 academic year, he participated in Fulbright Program as a lecturer on Hungarian Social History in Rutgers University[8]

In 2009, Melegh was appointed as an Associate Professor at Corvinus University of Budapest, where he continues to engage in academic activities. He also held a position as a College Professor at Pal Tomori College from 2009 to 2017, where he initiated an international studies program.[1] Melegh established the Karl Polányi Research Center for Global Social Studies at Corvinus University and served as a founding director from 2014 to 2022.[9]

In June 2015, he became involved in a controversy related to migration issues. Origo.hu, a pro-government news website published his remark that people who come from almost everywhere to the developed countries are better than the domestic population.[10] As Válasz.hu reported, Melegh cited pre-2015 data indicating that immigrants to Hungary exhibited higher levels of education and greater participation in the Hungarian labor market compared to native Hungarians.[11][12]

For Summer 2024 he has been selected as a Vienna Karl Polanyi Visiting Professor at Vienna University of Economics and Business, where he will conduct a PhD seminar, an internal workshop, and deliver an open lecture titled "Balancing the Imbalanced".[13][14]

He is the managing editor for English edition of Demográfia, an annual journal of the Demographic Committee at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and of the Hungarian Demographic Research Institute.[15]

Melegh is a member of advisory board at Journal Stanovnistvo, a Serbian journal of Population Studies,[16] and Comparativ,[17] official journal of the European Network in Universal and Global History, where he is a member of the steering committee.[18]
