Summary/Abstract: This study aims to analyze the socio-economic effects of migration in a Transylvanian village after 1989. Some relevant issues are: migration impact beyond official statistics and how migration affects social groups or gender relations in the village. It is an anthropological research using qualitative methods that highlights the specificity of migration in the village proved by: women’s empowerment, changing of social status for returning migrants, youth and social pressure generated by migration. The results provide a new perspective on migration research, focused on family changes and social status differences between migrants and nonmigrants.
