The increase in Romanians’ emigration corresponds to the
penury of labor force some European developed countries are facing
with, especially in the household field, tourism economy and agriculture.
Perceived as a possibility of improving life conditions, Romanian
migration is equally a phenomenon which prevails by the brutality of
changes whose negative effects are expressed by the costs which the
family has to pay for. The aim of our research is to highlight the
spectacular increase of Romanian emigration to Italy and especially of
female emigration and its impact on the family and children left in the
country. Despite the permanent contact provided by technology
development, children’s and teenagers’ vulnerability left behind in
Romania regarding psycho-emotional disorders has known an alarming
increase, especially when they are being confronted with the challenge of
dealing with their mother’s leave or both parents’, separation and family
“dissolution”.
