Romanian and Moldovan Migrant Families between National and Transnational Welfare Policies

Summary/Abstract: This study is carried out on the basis of the data collected within the action project ‘Children left behind by labour migration - Support of Moldovan and Ukrainian transnational families in the EU’ (CASTLE - Children Labour Support Transnational Families Eu) by the Center for the Study of Transnational Families. We analysed the peculiarities of welfare policies through a qualitative approach based on a set of interviews with key stakeholders collected in 2022 both in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. It highlights the reality of today's national social policies in the two states and associates the measures of public authorities and NGOs with their tendency to propose transnational welfare practices. We have comparatively identified the national social policies regarding migrant families. Our findings highlight the need for transnational expansion of public support measures for both countries.
