Abstract

Internal migration is a complex phenomenon that can have a greater effect on society than immigration and emigration. Starting from 1997, this phenomenon was constantly growing in Romania, and the pandemic context of the last 2 years has accelerated this internal population movement. People change their residence for various reasons, but for an important part of them, moving to the village is not an option but a necessity. The intensification of the process of internal migration from urban to rural areas has both positive and negative effects. Among the positive effects, we specify repopulation of rural areas due to the phenomenon of internal population movement and birth rate increase and increase in the volume of investment by absorbing European funds and the number of jobs, reducing unemployment and expanding inhabited areas by building new housing. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced certain aspects of the quality of life and the way we work or interact. In this context, most sectors have been forced to become compatible with distance connectivity, especially the education and labor market sectors. The present study aims to outline an image of this migration trend from city to village, focusing on the analysis of the Bucharest-Ilfov region, which, due to the current level of development, can provide a projection of the analyzed phenomenon.
