Abstract: Family is considered to be the foundation of any society. In former communist countries from Eastern Europe there have been serious concerns that slowly deteriorate this status: emigration issues, increased divorce rate, declining marriages rate, increased mortality and low life expectation etc. All these outline some crucial threats for the survival of a nation. Since the research literature offers few surveys on the teachers’ life quality, we’ve conducted a study on teachers from Cluj-Napoca, the second largest city in Romania. We’ve collected various indicators, referring to life standards, job, income, emigration, opinions and discontent, general and particular aspects of life and career, in order to find out of sight connections using data mining techniques. The decision trees algorithms were used to establish raw connections between indicators and to formulate a comprehensive interpretation on the emigration’s influence factors. The results of this study will be presented in an upcoming article (Part 2).
