The Demographic Situation in the Northern Economic Region of the Republic of Moldova
Journal Title: Romanian Review of Regional Studies - Year 2008, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The demographic situation within the Northern Economic Region is worse than the national average. This fact is determined by the decrease of the birth rate values, the increase of the mortality values and the negative natural and migration growth. They also lead to a change of the rate between age groups, in favour of the elderly. In order to diminish such a situation, urgent measures should be taken (policies for economic increase and income increase) at local, department and regional level, to stop the deep demographic crisis of the region.
