History

edit

Bangladeshis come to Romania mostly as skilled workers. Their exact number is unknown. As of 2008, there were hundreds of Bangladeshis living in Romania. [1] However, due to the fact that Romania's workforce has decreased due to emigration, their numbers have increased since then and they are expected to increase in the future.[2]
