The Great Return: Why Romanian Expats Are Leaving the UK

[@Eli7PM]

I lived and studied in Romania between 2012-2016 and it’s a country I hold very dear to my heart. I saw the potential back then but the problem is a lot of Romanians don’t believe they are an amazing country and while Romania still has a lot to solve politically, I think it’ll emerge as a power house in the near future și sper că fiecare român își vadă valoarea lui și că sunteți în drum spre un viitor mult mai ușor și bun. Mulțumesc României din suflet pentru că m-a dat educația pe care propria țara mea n-a putut s-o îmi dea

[@octavianpopescu4776]

Yes. I'm old enough to remember the last year of communism and it's a night and day difference. I'll give you some examples in numbers. Our GDP rose by 600% since 1990 (50 vs 300 billion USD). Minimum wage alone rose by 300% since 2008. My own income rose by 5-6 times since 2008. If you look what we looked like in 1990, everyone looked like a beggar. Now, we look just like everyone else. I assume that if I don't open my mouth, I could pass for a local in any Western country. When I was a kid, I remember looking at a Neckermann album a relative of mine had brought from Germany (he managed to get a visa and work in construction over there). The toys in there seemed Sci Fi. Now, I can just pop in a mall and find toys just like those or I can order them online. It's a massive, massive positive difference. And yet... those benefits haven't been equally distributed throughout the country. The countryside still needs investment and development.

Nicolae Ciucă isn't even the Prime minister anymore. It looks like this video was in the works for a long time. Also the houses you depicted when mentioning that people send money home are from the Romanian minorities who are making the money in less than hard working ways, not all, but a good majority. Also, you're looking at GDP in a very incorrect way. The financial layers have never been worse in the country. We have almost 50% of the population working on minimum wage which is barely 500€ and the others are so scattered that the middle class barely exists. It looks like you looked more on Wikipedia to make the video than at the actual country and how it's day to day activities are going. It would have been nice of you to mention that UK farmers want Eastern European works because they do the jobs that the UK citizens don't want to do. Also, if you go to Poland and tell them they are an eastern European country, you might not get invited for pierogi and zubrowka.

One thing that was not mentioned was the cost of living in the UK, In order for most romanian men to be able to send money back home in the early 2010s they had to live in shared accommodation. At its worst, 50 men would live in one 3 bed house in Burnt Oak. That was because rent in London for a double room would have taken 50% of minimum wage. The young people in the 2020s are not prepared to live like that. So to go home, rent a 2 bed flat for £400 per month and earn the £14K per year sounds like a much better way to live rather than stay 4 in a double room so that you can send £250 per week home.

It's too bad that the UK is making it difficult to secure a job quickly. It's their loss. Any country would benefit from an influx of highly skilled workers. I worked in Scotland for a while and while I wouldn't say I liked the weather, I found the people better educated than my Romanian fellows. The job paid less than it does in Romania (for the weekly hours I put in), but somehow it was more rewarding working with the Scots than my countrymen. I left in 2019 but I still do an online side gig with one of their Universities just because I like interacting with them.

[@TorontoASUS]

As a Romanian who lived in the UK for 13 years, I can confidently say that returning to Romania was the best decision I made. Although I earned a decent salary in the UK, more than 60% of it went towards rent, a car, bills, and food. In the UK, it often feels like you live to work rather than work to live. Life in Romania, like in the UK, isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but I now have more free time for myself and my family.

Don't forget it's not just about the pay gap, but also the language. - English is everywhere, and probably the most common 2nd language for Romanians. - And there's a very real impression that to survive in a foreign country you need to speak THEIR language or you won't last a day, so Germany? Italy? Nordic countries? Not a shot. France? Especially no. - Spain was the only other place Romanians went to in larger numbers, and specifically in field work, picking strawberries. Going to the UK seems way more easy when you know even a tiny bit of English. - And we would've gone to the US in drastically bigger numbers too, if getting a visa didn't cost your first born and rolling three nat 20s in a row.

Depending on what your work is and your income, it depends on the amount of money you are gonna have at EOM after rent and other spendings. If its proportionatly the same as Ro, yes most are gonna go back FOR A WHILE. After Brexit many have moved to Germany or Scandinavia. Those with higher skills or self employed moved to more warmer countries like Spain. Don't be fooled about the stats as they don't tell the core truth. Romanians are pissed off due to lack of proper infrastructure, poor quality of public service and the neverending government coruption. For every 1 Romanian returning home, there are 10 leaving - usually young folk

[@JoRosieQueen68]

I agree, that plus the Romaniannstate is a bloody populist affair, like if you have some skils or you just so happen not be part of the majority, you'd probably do something like move to Germany or Austria or eslewhere, I'm saying this because I moved especially because the Romanian workforce distribution is a joke and if you're neurodivergent you're even more screwed, add to that being a mixed race hebrew/jewish mongolian trans lady and you essentially are like an enemy to the state so no,nwhy would I wanna stay and pay higer taxes to a state that gives me lesser rights and offers me next to no quality jobs and I can't be myself at work and I can't start my own business either like, I'm pretty much screwed from the start, drug laws get worse amd worse in Romania and I think like another comment said, that only a part of those who leaved for cash reasons only and were from the lower social classes truly returned, and not even all of them to begin with like, some might go to a different country either way instead of returning. As for me, I take this video as a joke as there's more and more ghost jobs in Romania, you need relations to pretty much get nearly any decent job, corruption is on the rise, lgbt rights and drug laws are taking a hit, the economy is corrupt so you end up only feeding corruption instead of working to better the state, no gay marriage, lower quality and quantity of foods, goods and services, depressive communist cities, the uneducated and the douchebags and thiefs rule the streets, like why stay in Romania at this point, as for this video, it's as good as propaganda if you ask me mate.

[@michaels2480]

0:55 That comparison is of a *yearly* average salary in the UK, vs a *monthly* average salary in Romania. Kind of an unfair comparison. I'm not arguing that pays are equal between the two countries, because they're surely not. There is a large discrepancy still. But please, let's compare fairly.
