Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the methodological approaches in developing of an Integral Territo- rial Indicator of a Demographic Security. Starting from the basic question in developing of composite indicators, the paper aims to enhance territorial aspects of the demographic security in base of the forth fi elds: demographic development, population health, social security and labour conditions, measuring its for diff erent administrative - territorial units of the Republic of Moldova. The results demonstrates that fl uctuates in territorial profi le with the limits 70,2 to 44,6 points, the diff erence between maximum and minimum value constituted 36,5%. None of administrative-territorial units of the country approach the maximum possible score (100 points), this emphasizing low degree of demographic security, caused by low levels of the composite index: demographic index, health index, social and economic index, which in turn presents a refl ection of the long-term socio-economic crisis in the Republic of Moldova and negative demographic trends.
