It's a fact that Romania recorded a phenomenon of aging population, it’s also a reality that there is a need to cover the deficit of labor caused by the migration abroad of Romanians and that immigration and integration policies of immigrants into the labor market should be based on strategy entry on the labor market, on the knowledge of the difficulties faced by immigrants when looking for a job, on the knowledge of their labor experience in Romania, their perception of legal barriers and the level of trust in authorities, proposals that immigrants have to facilitate their integration into the labor market. Currently, it is difficult to assess the contribution of immigrants to the economy of the destination countries, but foreigners with legal residence in Romania is a group of people that meets often obstacles in accessing rights, obstacles caused by lack of knowledge of the Romanian language, the inability to communicate, the lack of support information on rights and obligations or services they can access.
