Migration – A Factor of Development or Destabilisation?

Summary/Abstract: The movement of masses of individuals from one territorial area to another has been recorded since the appearance of the human species. If this movement is also followed by the action of changing of one‘s residence and/or engaging in a form of activity in the area of arrival, we have, as defined by sociologist Traian Rotariu1, all the elements of migration. The same researcher has defined the socio-demographic conditions when the migration phenomenon becomes a flux: large numbers of people are involved; the movement is spatial and oriented from a geographic position of departure to a position of arrival; territorial mobility generates changes in society.
