TENDENCIES IN THE EXTERNAL MIGRATION OF ROMANIANS

MODELS OF MIGRATION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOCIAL CAPITAL DURING THE PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: Building on the conceptual frame of the temporary migration phenomenon and considering both the internal and the external migration, the research aims to analyze the models of migration of Romanians. The quantitative data used in analysis are the statistics on migration published by the National Institute of Statistics in Romania and the European international statistics. The second method applied was qualitative, an interview applied on a convenience sample of 20 permanent migrants, which investigated the types of social capital that Romanians use in their process of external migration. Results have shown several models of the process, starting from the marital and professional emigration to the migration based on academic studies. The factors which influence the success of the emigrant in the new context refer to the placement in a cohesive social network, to the level of his proffesional performance, and, not at last, to the cultural intelligence.
