INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS AT THE FAMILY LEVEL

Summary/Abstract: Migration is an important topic worldwide, representing an important part of a broad transformation that the world economy and society are currently experiencing. It must be understood as part of a process of social transformation that concerns economic, social, political, legislative, demographic conditions, but also actions designed to facilitate the correct understanding of what a migrant represents. A contemporary challenge is generated by the misperception of the natives regarding migrants and their families. In Romania, the phenomenon of immigration has started to be more and more known with the entry into our society of a considerable number of immigrants. The aim of this study is to analyse specific aspects of migrant status and to highlight the implications of migration on the family. We used quantitative methods, especially secondary data analysis. We found that immigrants are misperceived for reasons such as: fear, misinformation, cultural differences, language spoken, and the family undergoes major changes being directly involved in international migration.
