The HDRI is the only research institute in Hungary that carries out research on population issues and processes. In 1963 a demographic research group was founded within the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO), which became an independent institute in 1968. So, it is now one of the oldest independent demographic research institutes in Europe. The HDRI is an independent public organisation, supervised by the president of the HCSO. Ever since its foundation, our institution has maintained a close relationship with the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and its Committee of Demography, which pays continuous attention to the professional and scientific work at the Institute.
