DEVELOPMENT ON THE MOVE: OPTIMISING THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL IMPACTS OF MIGRATION

The Romanian outflow of migrants towards EU, a massive labour flow occurring during the last two decades could be interpreted as a significant pilot case for the process of urgently conceiving adequate policy measures in the capital area of immigration towards EU. Reviewing the most important features of the Romanian emigration, we try to identify commonalities and issues that could be turned into relevant proposals for tackling this domain in the optimal way, both economically and socially. Meanwhile our paper attempts to forecast the situation of the future outflows from Romania, in conjunction with the new developments of the domestic and the EU labour markets.
