THE IMPACT OF THE “BEATEN PATH” MODEL ON ROMANIAN MIGRATION

Abstract

The migrations process is influenced by a series of factors such as: degree of employment, migrant’s salary level in the origin and destination countries, age, gender, education and professional training, economic development, unemployment, prices and purchase power. The migrations flows originate especially from the poor or very poor countries, believed to be underprivileged, the migrant choosing, obviously, developed countries. International migration involves a series of effects and consequences (positive and negative) for both countries involved - the origin and the destination - for undetermined periods of time.
