The paper deals with the migratory flux that started in Europe around 1990 (when the totalitarian regimes collapsed) from east to west and especially it deals with women labor force emigration towards the West within the general context of the emigration phenomena in Romania of the last years. The Romanian women’s migration reached its peak in 2002 when their number was 1.3 bigger than the one of the Romanian men. In 2005 out of the total number of migrant Romanians 62.4% were women. This caused the unemployed women rate in Romania to be smaller than the unemployed men's - in 2006 it was 5.9% as compared to 8% for men.
It draws the attention upon the feminization of emigration and analyzes part of its consequences in the socio-economic field. The stress falls on the impact upon the family as an institution which ceases to exist and upon the starting of a real crisis of this, with important repercussions in the future: the falling birth rate, the increase of divorce rate, abandoned children.
