The quality of life and the migration of people in The Republic of Moldova

Abstract

The article represents a small study concerning the migration problem of the citizens of Moldova and the factors that influence it. Taking into account the evolution of population in The Republic of Moldova based on the dates fixed in two censuses, the analysis of the income per head, the state of health and longevity of lives in Moldova etc., the author makes the conclusion that the migration is particularly conditioned by the social-economical situation and represents an evidence of the bad quality of life in the country. This fact is also confirmed by the Index of Human Progress (IHP), computed by UNO every year and according to it, during this decade the Republic of Moldova has moved from the 75’th position to the 104’th on the list of the 174 states included in this classification.
