Reasons behind Romanian migration

Young Romanians are leaving their country in large numbers due to limited economic opportunities and dissatisfaction with the political system. Economic factors, such as low average salaries and high youth unemployment rates, drive many Romanians to seek better job prospects abroad. Additionally, corruption in public services, especially education and healthcare, further discourages young people from staying in Romania. With nearly 20% of people born in Romania no longer living there, outward migration poses challenges for the country's future.
