THE EVOLUTION OF THE MAIN DEMOGRAPHIC PHENOMENA IN ROMANIA
Keywords:
demography, birth rate, death rate, migrationAbstract
The trends of the main demographic phenomena provide useful information about
the future evolution of the number and age structure of Romania’s population. The
mutations in the social-economic structure of the country have led to a dynamic
territorial mobility of the population; at the same time, they have direct
consequences upon the socio-demographic structure of the population. In the past
years, demographic migration has become a common fact. The young and mature
population migrates from the rural to the urban environment, motivated by the
living and working conditions in the urban centers. Consequently, the remaining
rural inhabitants are mostly old-aged. The aging of the rural population is also
caused by a series of demographic and social-economic factors. The economic
effects of the demographic evolution will be seen in time and will bring about
changes in the various subpopulations (school children, fertile population,
inhabitants able to work).
