THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF BRAIN MIGRATION
THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF BRAIN MIGRATION

Summary/Abstract: This thesis aims to present the social problem related to the migration of doctors from Romania to other countries. In Romania, it began to be noticeable since 2007, when our country joined the European Union. Besides the massive migration of doctors from Romania to western countries, we notice another category made up of graduates in the IT field. Currently, at the level of Romanian society, we can identify more and more graduates who want to emigrate abroad, for work. Thus, Romania is in a continuous loss, from all socio-demographic points of view, and the other countries to which Romanians emigrate enjoy many benefits, such as: increasing the birth rate, lowering the mortality rate, invigorating society with the help of people trained in the fields of activity etc. All these positive aspects occur without investing anything in the training of specialists, they are already theoretically trained in Romania. On the other hand, from an economic point of view, some researchers claim that Romania is also a winner, taking into account the fact that many of their earnings return to the country: migrant workers support their families which were left in Romania (if they decide to stay). This thesis aims to analyse the phenomenon of brain migration from the perspective of health professionals who have left our country, trying to exemplify some of the possible causes, but also some solutions, to reduce the negative effects we feel nationally as a result of the decision to leave the country, in the context in which, we also have a very large number of young immigrants who go annually for work, n addition to doctors, IT specialists, other graduates of higher education etc.
