Abstract: In this article, we intend to analysis of poverty, poverty measures and indicators, as well as a presentation of the economic models for analyzing the impact of remittances on poverty. Poverty is the effect of a country’s level of development, materialized in the Gross Domestic Product per capita indicator. A particular significance regarding the standard of life is given by the purchasing power parity indicator. A specific aspect of Romania, as a member state of the European Union, is the migration of a large number of people in the other states. As a result of the use of the European directive on the free movement of the person and thus of the labor force, the remittance or, for the sake of all, the repatriation of the sums of those who work abroad and their taxation is emerging. The free movement of persons within the member states of the European Union also has an effect on the labor market in Romania. Without this „movement”, the labor market would suffocate, and the unemployment figure would reach unprecedented levels.
