Abstract: International migration is an ancient phenomenon that lasted to this day at all qualitative and quantitative levels as a result of the influence of a sum of subjective and objective factors that are currently interfering with the components of the globalising process directly. The Romanians’ external migration is a deeply rooted process in the history of our society. This process has been in continuous development for the past 20 years and, once Romania joined the European Union, it has grown in size both at the level of permanent and temporary migration of the workforce. During this period, Romania had many social and economic problems such as: the decrease of economic activity, the population’s poverty, increase of unemployment and inflation, corruption and last, but not least, the population’s external migration. This migration phenomenon for employment had not only positive effects for immigrants and their families, but also negative ones shown on the labour market and national economy. As we are interested in the effects that migration had on the labour market, in what follows, we decided to conduct an econometric analysis on the impact of migration on the labour market exerted via remittances. To be more precise, we will tackle the extent to which remittances contributed to the decrease of employment in Romania.
