2012, Romanian Economic and Business Review
Just like many other European countries, Romania is facing a demographic downtrend that accentuates over time. Despite studies show that the world is getting overpopulated as the total number of inhabitants should rise from approximate 6.5 billion to over 9 billion, Romania’s problem is completely different: Romania has been experiencing a negative population growth for the last decades. This article is modeling Romania’s demographic evolution and presenting an outlook of how the future looks for this country in terms of demographic stability, total population, evolution of average and median age, with an emphasis on the expected consequences of this evolution.

Population of Romania- shapes and demographic trendsDemographic changes affect all countries of the world, with higher and more sensitive impact on economic and social development in nowadays than in the past. An important aspect for the development of the nations is its demographic potential. Country population is considered the main factor when we are talking about the evolution of the society and its sustainable development. The objective of the paper is to analyse the population of Romania in terms of dimension, age structure and trends in the context of the international demographic evolution. Changes in dimension and age structure of the population are important concerning the economic behaviour on national and international level. Birth rate, life expectancy, mortality rates, migration rates are important indicators for the analysis of the population dynamics. Birth decline and high mortality rates show a natural decrease of the population with negative impact on the development level of the country. The statistical figures show a deep demographic decline in Romania, the main causes being the natural decrease of the population and the negative net international migration. On the other side, as the European countries, Romania faces the complex economic and social consequences of the slow but steady process of demographic ageing. Changing of the population structure by age, more balanced on older ages, is the consequence of the evolution of two major factors: vital events and international migration on one hand and life expectancy on the other hand. National Institute of Statistics, Romania and Eurostat mainly provide data used in this paper.

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).

Díaz Diego, J. y Jurado Almonte, J.M. (2016): “The romanian population in the turn of the century: an approach to demographic behavior in Romania during the great transformations of the transition from the 20th to 21th century”,2016 •
This article describes, analyses and discusses some of the main demographic indicators of Romania during the last two decades, which we have entitled ‘Romania of the great transformations’, since the data analysed corresponds with a historical period characterised by a profound social, political and economic transformation following the fall of the Ceausescu socialist regime in 1989 and the rapid introduction of the Romanian society and State into the capitalist market and neoliberal logics, fostered eventually by its incorporation into the European Union in 2007. The analyses presented comprise statistical data from official Romanian institutions as well as excerpts from semi-structured interviews to specialised Romanian informants, and fieldwork notes taken by the authors in some of the main cities of the country. The data reveals an important decrease of the Romanian population in addition to a marked ageing, the feminization of the elderly and the masculinization of the young conditioned to a great extent by the excessive emigration during the last decade (which has not been rigorously estimated in the official statistics until recently), the fall of birth-rates, the rise ofife expectancy, and the second transition of its family demographic structures.

Population Ageing. Romania in a European Context2022 •
This article is dedicated to the memory of Professor Emeritus Doctor Traian Rotariu, founder and director of the Centre for Population Studies at the "Babeş-Bolyai" University in Cluj-Napoca, a researcher with outstanding contributions in the fields of population sociology, demography, social statistics and research methodology in the social sciences. The purpose of this comparative analysis is to show how the structure of Romania's population evolved, in a European context, in the period 1990-2020 and to forecast the trends of demographic ageing. Starting from the sociologist and demographer T. Rotariu's contribution to the research of the ageing population phenomenon, mentioning other contributions from the specialized literature, we define this phenomenon from a double perspective-demographic and sociological-, we present the statistical indicators used to describe the volume, structure and evolution of the population in the member countries of the European Union. With the help of the ArcGIS Pro cartography software, we created a series of maps to represent the evolution of statistical indicators from 1990-2020. We used the Jenks method to group the data at the spatial level. The age pyramid was used as a demographic tool to represent the evolution of the population structure of the EU-27 Member countries.

In Romania, the phenomenon of demographic transition has been present since the second half of the last century, having certain features also met in the developed countries: the drop in fertility, the increase in life expectancy, the decrease in infant mortality. After 1990, the phenomenon of demographic transition has been emphasized by the effects of society’s transition from the communist

Analysis of the Demographic Phenomenon of Fertility in Romania from 1950-20212021 •
Fertility is the ability of two cells, the egg and the sperm, to unite in order to conceive a biological child. The aim of this study is to analyse how the fertility rate has evolved demographically since the communist period and until now in Romania. In order to carry out this study, we analysed the data provided by Macrotrends regarding the fertility rate in Romania from the last 71 years (more precisely 1950-2021). The results of the study indicate that, in 1950 Romania had an average fertility rate of 3.25 children per woman. It gradually declined until 1965. In 1967, the number of births doubled to almost half a million new-borns in just 1 year. Such a rate has never been reached, the fertility rate being in a continuous decline until now.

This article includes a statistical analysis of the main Romanian demographic phenomena. The numerous red flags drawn by the scientists, reverberated in the media, refers to the demographic decline, accentuated by the visible populations aging trend. The main concern of many working age individuals are due to the most probable consequences: future challenges of the social security pensions system resulted out of the reversal age pyramid. The aging population will become more numerous than the working age population, those who pay social insurance will be less numerous than those entitled to receive pensions. This analysis is destinated for a statistical analysis of the relationship between the demographic phenomena, in an attempt to discover the specific relationships. This paper's conclusions may be relevant for the development of a coherent demographic policy based on measurable goals.

Several factors contributed to the current world demographic configuration: cultural, financial, and socio-economic changes specific to the globalisation process. The improve-ment of alimentation, the recent progresses in the field of medicine, along with mass im-munization, the information and education of the population in the fields of health and care for each stage of life, and practicing mass-sports contributed, as well. From the demo-graphic viewpoint, the main responsible factors are the decreases of the birth rate, increased life expectancy, the migration phenomenon, and population ageing. This latter aspect is the subject of the present paper. The first part reviews the definition of old age from a general and demographic point of view. The second part analyses comprehensively the social vul-nerability of this period of life. The third part is dedicated to the impact population ageing has on the configuration of social policies. From the methodological viewpoint, the paper ...
