Half of Romanian parents working abroad cannot come home for Easter, survey says

Almost half (45%) of Romanian parents working abroad will not spend the Easter holidays in the country with their children, while 38% say they will come home for Easter, most of them because of money, according to data from a survey conducted by Save the Children Romania among beneficiaries of the program dedicated to children with parents working abroad.

The parents in the sample included in the organization’s latest study have been abroad for an average of six years, both mothers and fathers. More than half of the parents with children in the country are absent for one-third of their children’s childhood, especially during early primary school age and preadolescence.
