Abstract:
In recent decades, the Republic of Moldova has registered a continuous process of population reduction, especially the rural population. The factors that led to rural depopulation are multiple, the main ones being: negative natural growth, population aging, youth migration, poorly developed infrastructure, low incomes, etc. The changes that have occurred recently are not enough to stop the process of rural depopulation. The policies promoted by the state are not coherent, and the change in demographic trends represent lasting problems, a fact that proves that we cannot expect radical changes in the coming years.
