Abstract

An increasing body of literature tries to find out what are the main factors that potentially determine people to migrate. Over time, many theories have been developed - each offering a different perspective on this phenomenon. The aim of this study is to provide statistical evidence of the migration process and to briefly discuss the main factors that potentially lead the people to migrate. The present paper offers useful theoretical information with regards to the migration process. The statistical method used is the multiple regression, by taking into account the number of marriages, the unemployment rate and GDP as independent variables and the number of emigrants as dependent variable. The analysis is made for Romania.
