EXPLORING ENTREPRENEURIAL INSIGHTS ON THE INFLUENCE OF MIGRATION ON MOLDOVAN BUSINESSES

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores, from an entrepreneurial perspective, how migration influences the business activities in the Republic of Moldova. The research uses a combination of primary and secondary data, encompassing statistical data analysis and a survey involving 204 entrepreneurs across 25 districts in the Republic of Moldova. The findings reveal that generally, entrepreneurs regard migration as having a negative consequence on their businesses, with sectors such as construction, IT, hospitality, and agriculture being the most affected by fluctuations in the active workforce. Migration’s influence on labor availability is significant in both urban and rural areas, although more pronounced in rural regions. Rural entrepreneurs perceived that this migration of workers affected their businesses more adversely compared with urban ones, thus indicating economic disparities across these areas.
