Migration caused a decrease in the population by more than one million citizens in the last three decades. According to national estimates, more than 90% of the population decline is caused by mass migration. However, recent empirical research demonstrates a high intention of migration among the population. About 18% of respondents want to leave Moldova forever, according to the Public Opinion Barometer realized in June 2021. According to the Generations and Gender survey conducted in 2020, about 15.5% of respondents intend to emigrate in the next three years. This research aims to determine the push factors that influence the emigration intentions of the Moldovan population. The main method of analysis is binomial logistic regression. According to the results, the emigration intention is higher among men than among women, as well as among youth and people with a high level of education. The odds that a young aged 20-29 will leave Moldova in the next 3 years is 3.8 times higher than in the case of a person aged 50 or over. People from urban areas are more intended to emigrate than those from rural areas. The analysis shows that respondents with higher incomes are more likely to migrate than vice versa. At the same time, less religious respondents are more intended to emigrate than those with a higher religious frequency.
