Formation of the new Romanian communities

Journal of Community Positive Practices, 2011, issue 4, 113-125

Abstract: Within the context in which the international migration is a rather new phenomenon within the contemporary societies, the emigration from Romania reveals deep implications. The relation between the demographic changes and the policies on migration, including the migration of highly-skilled people, will be an important problem in the near future; some member states are expected to prefer the migration of specialists and to develop regulations and procedures which facilitate it. The paper shows the five great migratory periods from Romania and the trends revealed by the post-December period in terms of emigration. The low employment opportunities on the labour force market in Romania and the consistent discrimination of the wage income lead to new forms of emigrants and the Romanian communities from abroad aggregate organically by preserving some specific traits of the national identity. The paper launches the challenge to make a comprehensive analysis by organising the indicators specific to the demographical, social-economic, cultural-educational and religious dimensions; this will be an important approach for the knowledge of the Romanian identity resources in a period of strong globalization crisis.
