The basic aim of the paper is the analysis of the changes in migratory patterns of village youth on the basis of the results of the longitudinal research conducted in the village of Kać in 1999 and 2021 respectively. In both research studies the same questionnaire was used for data comparability. In the ongoing 2021 research, whose preliminary results will be presented in this paper, we have added a few items due to the presupposition that there are changes in the migratory patterns of village youth. Namely, the basic presupposition is that the difference in the migratory patterns of village youth is primarily reflected in the changes of the desired target place or target country, i.e. that a larger number of young people want to go abroad today that twenty years ago, when larger cities in Serbia were favoured. Another presupposition is that pull and push factors have remained the same to a great extent. The analysis of the results indicates that external migrations, i.e. going abroad, are more appealing than in the first research period in 1999, when Novi Sad was the most desirable migration destination. However, the analysis of pull and push factors in both research studies offers almost identical results, where the poor financial situation and the failure to find any job or a job in their own profession are the main rejection factors among the village youth even twenty years later.

Број који је пред вама, први број часописа Социолошки преглед у 2023. години, уредила је Редакција у новом саставу, изабрана на Изборној скупштини Српског социолошког друштва у Новом Саду 11. јуна 2022. године.У раду Социолошког прегледа, првог правог југословенског и српског социолошког часописа (Mitrović, 1982, str. 115) , учествовали су скоро сви знаменити социолози са наших простора, што додатно подстиче, али и обавезује. Поштујући дугу и богату традицију најстаријег социолошког часописа на Балкану (COBISS baza, 2017), Социолошког прегледа, чији почеци датирају још од давне 1938. године, трудићемо се да задржимо постојећи ниво квалитета часописа, али и да постигнемо још виши стручни и научни ниво. Руководећи се искључиво научним критеријумима, Редакција планира да у наредном периоду настави тренд раста квалитета научних радова и приказа књига из области социологије или сродних друштвених наука. У остварењу овог циља учествоваће заједничким радом аутори радова, пријављивањем што квалитетнијих текстова, рецензенти, који озбиљним радом, саветима и сугестијама доприносе вишем квалитету радова и самог часописа, и сви остали који несебичним радом и залагањем већ доприносе и доприносиће да Социолошки преглед угледа светлост дана четири пута годишње.И овај број, садржајем радова и научним областима из којих долазе, показује да се значај часописа огледа у интердисциплинарности и све већем интересовању различитих аутора из наука сродних социологији. Овим се рад часописа води крилатицом записаном у првом броју 1938. године: Социолошки преглед се залаже за "сарадњу свих друштвених наука" и не само друштвених, јер "радећи на солидарности и сарадњи наука, ми уједно указујемо и припремамо све друге солидарности" (Editorial Board, 1938, str. 9).
Summary Family relations and the functions of socially endangered families – a case study The basic hypothesis of this research indicates the existence of the differences in the relations and family functions in socially endangered families in comparison with the theoretically established relations and functions in the majority of families in the contemporary Serbian society. The framework for studying this problem was the method of case study and reliance on a large number of sources of data such as deep interviews, documents of the Social Services of the town of Novi Sad, the informants’ letters, interviews with social workers, reports of people in charge of cases, statistical data etc. The paper analyzes seven different socially endangered families, their life histories and ways of establishing family functions. The research shows that family functions were not fully accomplished and that some functions did not exist at all. These are most frequently the economic function and the function of child protection. Economic inactivity, reliance on social welfare and occasional participation in grey economy are characteristic for the majority of socially endangered families. Not performing economic function greatly affects not performing in other family functions as well. The research has indicated that different patterns of behaviour and not performing functions are surely a result of the constant reliance on the programmes of social welfare of socially endangered families. These programmes in no way represent a permanent solution of existential problems of socially endangered families, which is the greatest misconception of the users of these programmes. Contrary to general beliefs, they influence the passivization of family members and prevent changes in distancing from poverty culture. The examples of families who “solved” their financial problems indicate that economic factors are in the majority of cases crucial for normal functioning of families. It seems that solving financial problems represents an incentive for performing other family functions. Key words: family functions, poverty, socially endangered, method of case study, qualitative research.
