The Impact of Migration on the Local Labour Market

The dysfunctions of the Romanian labour market have increased with the economic crisis, which has resulted in the considerable reduction of occupancy, the increase of unemployment, the intensification of migration. The present study aims at evaluating the impact of the labour force migration on the local labour market from a twofold perspective: on the one hand, the extent to which the economic crisis influences the migration intent of the individuals who belong to the occupationally-challenged groups, and on the other hand, the deficit of labour force the employers have to face as a result of labour force migration. Taking into account the extent of the phenomenon and the consequences upon the labour market, our country should elaborate a strategy to regulate and ensure an efficient migration management. The study starts from the premise that proposing such a strategy should take into consideration the manner in which the participants directly involved in the labour market define the drawbacks and opportunities in the migration abroad in order to find work.
