ANALYSIS OF LABOR MIGRATION IN ROMANIA

Abstract

Because of the increasingly precarious conditions in Romania, many people leave the country to obtain a job. Increasing of migration, both before the occurrence of the economic crisis in Romania and afterwards is the motivation of the study in this paper. The research conducted is subject to the analysis of labor migration in Romania, as well as determinants: wages, GDP, inflation rate and unemployment rate. In the first part of the paper are used statistical methods for the analysis of labor migration in Romania and in the second part are used regression econometric models to analyze the impact of wages and unemployment on migration. For the analysis of labor migration, we have taken into account a 12 year-period, from 2000 to 2011. Statistical and econometric processing are performed using the software program package called Eviews.
