Qualitative Research on the Social, Economic and Demographic Implications of Labor Mobility
The study aims to investigate the economic, social and demographic implications of labor mobility in the process of Romania's integration into the European Union, a particularly important aspect in the unitary and balanced development of all Member States. We wanted to achieve a well-defined profile of the Romanian migrant, and thus we conducted a survey on a representative sample that offered us a series of elements that contributed to the overall image of the Romanian workforce as well as to the medium and long-term effects with serious consequences for the performance of our country from an economic and social point of view. Below, the results of the undertaken research are presented, results that lie at the basis of making some proposals or recommendations that can be implemented and developed by all the factors involved in the specific issues of the labor market and mobility existing on it, both regionally and internationally. In order to obtain a broader perspective on the social, economic and demographic implications of labor mobility, we used a qualitative analysis, conducted through a questionnaire that was distributed online.
