Dynamics of Romanian Emigration After 1989

What is it about?

In this article we examine the dynamics of temporary emigration in post-1989 Romania, and rely on a twofold approach to understanding this phenomenon. First, we adopt a macro-level perspective to examine temporary migration abroad with respect to the Romanian migration system. In the second part of the article, we shift to a micro-level approach to examine migration as a life strategy that individuals adopt in response to the challenges of the postcommunist Romanian environment.
