Particularitățile îmbătrânirii demografice în profil administrativ-teritorial în Republica Moldova

Abstract

The article presents the particularities of demographic aging in administrative- territorial profile, according to the 2014 Population and Housing Census data. The data show that during 2004-2014, Republic of Moldova lost from its population about 20.6%, due to the massive migration of the young population. The degree of population aging is much higher in the North region of the country, especially in rural areas. The age and sex structure of population shows that the share of elderly females in the administrative-territorial structure of the population is much higher than that of males. Demographic aging in the Republic of Moldova generates a series of consequences on the demographic, economic, social and cultural plans, which require the development of the necessary policies for the integration and welfare of elderly.
