SIGNIFICANT DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN THE ROMANIAN COUNTRYSIDE
Journal Title: The Annals of Valahia University of Târgoviste, Geographical Series - Year 2003, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In the present conditions of transition, the Romanian village has to cope with numerous situations caused by the depleted natural increase and the internal and external migrations that ended in the aging of the population throughout the country. In 1998, the group of over 60 olds represented 24% of the rural population, which means that nearly every fourth individual was an elderly. In the last decade of the 20th century the number of Romania’s inhabitants dropped by some 704,000 persons, of which 443,000 in the countryside. After 1990, the structure of the active population was significantly modified. The industrial workforce decreased, while these practicing agriculture, or employed in services and public administration, increased. Privatisation of the agricultural sector, together with the restructuring of other economic branches led to new social-economic categories emerging in the rural area. Solutions to the many problems raised by the demographic situation in the countryside calls for a strategic approach liable to make optimal and time-stable proposals.
