Insight of the Day: Romanians, the most numerous citizens living in other EU countries. The country's labor market is affected by the phenomenon

Detailed Findings:

  • Romania has the highest number of citizens living in other EU member states (approximately 3.2 million).

  • 76% of emigrants are of working age (15-64), seeking better jobs and living conditions.

  • Italy is the country with the highest number of Romanian emigrants (34% of the total).

  • Approximately half of those who emigrate are between 20 and 40 years old.

  • Recruiting skilled labor is a major problem for companies in Romania, with 4 out of 5 employers reporting difficulties in finding qualified personnel.

  • A study by the National Bank of Romania (BNR) supports these data.

  • In addition to higher salaries and development opportunities, an important factor in emigration is the lack of digital skills in Romania, which ranks first in the EU in this regard (deficit of basic digital skills).

  • Since the 1989 Revolution, over 4 million Romanians have emigrated.

Main Conclusion: The massive emigration of the active workforce significantly affects the Romanian labor market, creating major difficulties for employers in finding qualified personnel.

Consumer Motivation (Here, "consumers" are Romanian citizens): The desire for higher salaries, professional advancement opportunities, a better standard of living, and personal development.

What Drives the Trend: More attractive salaries abroad, better career opportunities, living standards perceived as superior, and the lack of digital skills among the Romanian workforce.

Who the Article Refers To: Romanian citizens, especially those of working age (15-64), and employers in Romania.

Description of Consumers/Product/Service: The "product" is the opportunity for work and a better life. The "consumers" are Romanian citizens, especially those in the working-age segment.

Conclusions: The massive emigration of Romanians creates a significant shortage of skilled labor on the domestic market.

Implications for Brands/Companies (Especially those in human resources, recruitment, education):

  • The need to invest in training and digital skills development programs to attract and retain the workforce.

  • Adopting innovative recruitment strategies to attract qualified candidates.

  • Improving working conditions and salary packages to compete with offers from abroad.

Implications for Society: A negative impact on the national economy through the reduction of skilled labor and increased pressure on the pension system.

Implications for Consumers (Romanian citizens): Greater opportunities to work abroad, but also the possibility of staying in Romania if working conditions and development opportunities improve.

Implications for the Future: If the trend continues, the shortage of skilled labor in Romania will intensify, with long-term negative consequences for the economy.

Consumer Trend: The search for job opportunities and a better life abroad.

Learnings for Companies in 2025: Companies must adapt to a dynamic and competitive labor market by investing in employee training and offering attractive conditions to retain talent.

Strategic Recommendations for Companies in 2025:

  • Developing training and professional retraining programs.

  • Implementing employer branding strategies to attract and retain talent.

  • Collaborating with educational institutions to adapt educational programs to the demands of the labor market.

Final Sentence (Key Concept): The massive emigration of the Romanian workforce to other EU states creates a significant deficit in the domestic market; therefore, in 2025, companies must focus on attracting, training, and retaining talent by investing in skills development, offering competitive salary packages, and creating an attractive work environment to ensure success in a globalized and competitive labor market.
