ROMANIAN COMMUNITY OF BELGIUM AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MIGRANT NETWORKS

Summary/Abstract: In realizing the main objective, we started from some main categories of information sources: theoretical sources, descriptive and empirical data sources obtained during the analysis. The empirical analysis presented can be grouped into: data from official statistical sources and data analysis from questionnaire-based survey. The social survey was carried out on a sample of 200 Romanian immigrants in Belgium who lived or worked in different cities or towns in the country. The spatial distribution of Romanian immigrants is not constant and alike, the number of Romanian origin persons varying greatly from one region to another and from one place to another one. Therefore, one of the challenges in setting the research methodology was that establishing the geographical boundaries in which we operate. The solution was identified and applied randomly, because it is difficult to establish a statistically step case. In determining the space of social inquiry we stopped in Brussels and its surroundings, where the number of Romanian immigrants is the largest.
