Abstract

The second part of our study analyzes the results obtained from our survey on the teachers’ life quality, regarding the factors that influence their decision to emigrate. Based on the methodology described in Part 1, we identified and studied four categories of teachers. For the respondents that have declared their profession income insufficient even for basic necessities, the economic indicators in the decision of emigrating are surpassed by the fulfilment offered by the amount of work they can do and the quality of their work environment. Respondents which declared that profession income covers with great effort their basic necessities display a large array of motivations regarding emigration decision: society and its quality, emotional or financial factors. The teachers from the third category declared their profession income to be just enough for their basic necessities and emigration decision is influenced mainly by their work life. The last category wasn’t too relevant for the purpose of this study because only one person from this group wanted to emigrate
