Grandmother Raisa making traditional crafts in the Gasca family house in Chiscareni, a village in northern Moldova. The Gasca family, as most households in Moldova, was affected by migration, as family members went abroad to earn money. 80,000 children in the country have at least one parent working abroad, and the country's population is expected to decrease by 29% if the migration rate, one of the highest in the world, does not contract.
