The Influence of Labour Migration on the Stability of Family

Abstract

The Authors in the article analyze the influence of labour migration on the stability of family in Lithuania. The word “emigration” means the departure to another country with an intention to reside in it permanently or no shorter than 12 months. The International Organization for Migration notes that in Lithuania 36.6 thousand people declared their departure in 2014 and 38 thousand people in 2015. People emigrate due to economic reasons, lack of social security, no trust in the state, demeaning attitude of employers toward employees and better work opportunities abroad.
