Abstract

The study analyzes the changes occurring in the quality of life of the immigrants after they change residence. Our research approach is aimed at the situation of Romanian immigrants in Belgium, constituting the first research of this kind in Romania. Data analysis has shown that migration generates an overall increase in the immigrants’quality of life, reflected in financial status and job satisfaction; access to quality medical and education services; multiple leisure opportunities. The immigrants’ perception of the quality of life depends on the system of values specific to their home country, which continues to influence their personal and professional aspirations.
