Abstract

Romania is a major labor force exporter, especially for other European Union states. Starting with 1990, more than three and a half million people left Romania, almost a quarter of the population of this state. The Romanian Government has witnessed this phenomenon for many years, often seeing it as a positive phenomenon, although experts in the field have warned on the devastating effects of the phenomenon on longterm. The presentation focuses on answering a question: Is Romania in a social and economic crisis caused by emigration? Analyzing the socio-economic situation, the answer is undoubtedly ”Yes”. The effects are devastating: demographic decline, decrease of workforce, emigration of doctors and highly qualified specialists, children left home without protection and many others. In this context, in the last three years, the Romanian state has begun to apply an aggressive policy to attract back the Romanian emigrants and to fill the labor market deficit with workers from other countries..
