In the first part of the debate the following guests were present: Secretary of State Elena Solomonesc from the Ministry of Labor and Radu Minea, President of FSLCPR.

Speranța Pîrciog, Dr. at the National Institute of Scientific Research in the field of Labor and Social Protection, discussed “Structural changes existing at the level of local labor markets in Romania”. This paper work was done together with Dr. Cristina Lincaru.
The inclusion of young people in the labor market was also analyzed. This topic was presented by Dr. Mihaela-Nona Chilian from the Romanian Academy, the National Institute of Economic Research with the help of the following project: “The access of the graduates of higher education on the labor market in Romania”.
Given that many Romanian citizens live in the United Kingdom, the result of a complex questionnaire about the life of Romanians in the UK was presented, the reasons why the number of Romanians from UK continues to grow. About 10 million Romanians live outside the borders, and over 400,000 live in the United Kingdom, due to the rights they have acquired with the accession to the European Union.
Dr. Aniela Matei presented tha project “Labor force mobility for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – motivational factors and return behaviors” and underlined the reasons why Romanian citizens choose to leave Romania and live in the United Kingdom. The reason was to replace the need for “survival” with the need of “saving.” In conclusion, Romanians want to leave the UK for economic reasons, but these are not the only reasons. The lack of trust in the Romanian institutions, but also of justice issues in Romania are part of the determining factors.
A worrying conclusion found in the questionnaire is that 70% of the respondents do not want to return to Romania.
