Almost half of the parents who work abroad will not spend the Easter holidays in the country.

According to a study conducted by Save the Children Romania, 45% of parents working abroad will not return to the country for the Easter holidays, with most citing financial reasons. They have been away for an average of six years, and more than half of them miss a third of their children's childhood, affecting their emotional development.

The study shows that 13% of fathers and 24% of mothers are the sole breadwinners of the family, while 72% of fathers leave their children in the care of their partners, and 62% of mothers leave them in the care of grandparents. The main reasons for migration are low wages and lack of jobs. Gabriela Alexandrescu, executive president of Save the Children Romania, emphasizes that physical distance profoundly affects parent-child relationships, especially during holiday periods.
