Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty

estimates, the foreign born represented 10.5 percent (440,121) of
the total population of Moldova in 2005.

Note: : Many long-term residents in Moldova who are counted as "foreign born" today were born in other republics of the
former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) before it ceased to exist as one unified country in 1991. Therefore,
the number of foreign born in contemporary Moldova may reflect the country's changed geopolitical status rather than
its immigration trends. The former USSR included 15 countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
