| Growing Together |
 Romania is nowadays faced with a phenomenon whose scale is hard to ascertain at this point: children being left behind with one parent or no parents at all, raised by relatives, because the parents go to work abroad. According to figures submitted by the Child Protection Department at the end of 2012, social assistance authorities had on their books 79,901 children with parents working abroad. Of them 41% had no parental care whatsoever. Of them 22,993 had both parents abroad, while 9,991 came from single parent families where the parent was working abroad. |

| New Profit-Making Crops |
 Over the last few years, Romanian farmers have set their eyes on new crops that for others remain a complete mystery. If we take a look at northern Moldavia, for example, agricultural businesses have diversified significantly. The traditional maize, wheat or sunflower crops have gradually been replaced with crops that are a less familiar sight for this region, crops which investors find easy to export and from which they can make good profit. |
