34% of Moldavians are ready to migrate (how many to Iasi?)

One of the reasons why economies in Western Europe are still growing is the contribution of the emigrants. Even if most of the people don't like to admit this, it is the truth. I think that for Iasi this could also be one of the growth engines.

In order to achieve this, the first winning strategy should be keeping as many students as possible in Iasi after they finish the studies.

Another important strategy should be the return of the valuable people that used to live in Iasi and are now in Bucharest or in other countries.

But as important as these 2 strategies could be another one: attract some valuable people from Moldova.

I found out from a poll realized by Gallup, that 34% of Moldavians are ready to migrate in another country. Iasi might not be as attractive as Western Europe if we compare the salaries, but it could compensate this in other ways: same language, smaller living costs compared to Wester Europe, the proximity with the Moldavian border (closer to their families) , the cultural similitudes and so on.
