Migrant population<br />
A total of 22,000 foreign nationals are registered, including:<br />
▷ Refugees from Ukraine (estimated 4,000).<br />
▷ Other refugees (e.g. from the Middle East).<br />
▷ Economic migrants (e.g. from Nepal and India).<br />
▷ International students.<br />
Socio-economic context<br />
Dynamic economy and higher education sector.<br />
Multicultural tradition (Hungarian, German and Jewish minorities).<br />
Unemployment rate: 3.1% (Romanian North-West Region).<br />
Challenges and needs<br />
Need to provide better information and legal support to Ukrainians<br />
and other newcomers.<br />
▷ Learn from experience and best practice in providing multi-lingual<br />
guidance to migrants.<br />
National legislation and institutions are not prepared for the current<br />
number of international arrivals, causing long waiting times in accessing<br />
residency and related rights.<br />
Local service providers lack information about refugee and migrant<br />
rights and as a consequence deny access.<br />
▷ Develop a better understanding of the national and European<br />
framework on migrant reception and integration.<br />
There is a need to take a more proactive approach to prepare society<br />
for the growing diversity - in particular non-European migrants.<br />
▷ Learn how to promote societal acceptance of migrants and<br />
communicate the benefits of their integration with the host society.<br />
▷ Learn from existing experiences on how to get better data on<br />
migration by combining the multitude of existing sources.<br />
Economic migrants live mostly segregated from the rest of society and<br />
might face exploitation and violations of their rights.<br />
