Trends of external migrations in South West Oltenia Development Region

Summary/Abstract: Due to the actual process of globalization, migration cannot be seen or explained as an isolated phenomenon, as it gets a more regional and world imprint. In this process, the external factors have the most important role, as they can influence the movement direction of massive population flows from one region to another or from one state to another. At the European level, as in Romania, the external factors are represented by the integration in EU, the legislation of member states regarding the emigrants and the level of development of a state or the level of polarization of a region. For a better understanding of the consequences of the migration phenomenon, in the regions generating emigrants as in those that attract a large number of people, but also in the attempt to shape out an emigrant profile, we need an analysis of the legislative, institutional, sociological and statistical-economic dimensions. Thus, using the statistical data available, at the national and regional level, regarding the number of emigrants and immigrants in the last two decades, this study tries to analyze these data in order to establish a social-cultural profile for the Romanian emigrants. In the meanwhile, the study outlines the negative effects of the migration on the social and the economic environment in the receiving and leaving areas, by comparing the data available at the national level with the status of the South West Oltenia Development Region.
