RESEARCH ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE IMMIGRATION PHENOMENON IN ROMANIA

It is obvious that international migration is a phenomenon affecting all the countries and regions of the world, and Romania is no exception. Romania is not only a country of origin, but also a country of transit and destination. The purpose of this research is to study the phenomenon of immigration in Romania. The statistical analysis of immigration data provided by the United Nations, Eurostat, the National Statistical Institute of Romania, the International Organization for Migration, the International Organization for Migration, the Office for Romania was chosen for statistical analysis. The evolution of the international migration stock highlights the increase in the number of migrants from one year to the next. Thus, if in 1990 Romania had a level of 135,825 migrants, in 2019 the value amounted to 462,552 migrants, the highest level in the period 1990-2019. However, immigrants are not frequently interested in Romania. Rather, Romania is a transit state to developed countries.
