Analysis of Demographic Change in Romania Using Quantitative Methods

Abstract

Demographic aging in the European Union will have a major impact and importance in the coming decades. Major changes, such as increased life expectancy and a permanent decrease in natality rates, seen in the structure of the demographic pyramid in the European Union (EU), can lead to one of the most significant demographic changes by reconfiguring the structure of the population in a more aging one, increasingly evident in many EU countries. To highlight the differences in demographic change between the eight regions of Romania, the dispersion analysis (unifactorial ANOVA) is used. In order to observe the time differences regarding emigration from the regions, data from 2012 and 2016 were used.
