The evolution of the Romanian population is one that has to attract interest, especially
from the point of view of the decrease in the birth rate, which will further determine the reduction
from year to year of the population, both resident and domicile in Romania. Against the background
of the increase of the death-birth rate, i.e. the ratio of deceased to newborn in favor of the deceased,
the age pyramid will be changed in the sense that, at the base, the younger generations will be
reduced to the middle and especially towards the peak of the pyramid being net contingents over
previous periods. In this context, we can speak with certainty about a phenomenon of aging of the
population, i.e., of increasing the number of older people on the background of the decrease of the
birth rate. In this article, the authors study the evolution of the population over time, presenting
tables and graphs that highlight this aging phenomenon. In summary, we can say that birth rates
are decreasing, mortality increases, marriage decreases, divorcement increases, and emigration of
a part of the population, especially from younger generations and with more special training.
Birthplaces are highlighted, in the context of the couples breaking up or not, in order to have an
image that the generation of young children does not have an immediate or long-lasting perspective.
There are many births outside marriages, especially in rural areas and less in urban areas. The age
at which the marriages are made is advanced, and on this complex background we come to the
conclusion of a certain aging process of the Romanian population. At the same time, we also
appreciate that the population resident or domiciled in Romania will also gradually decrease. There
are predictions that, in 2050, the population of Romania, if this trend of the main demographic
indicators is maintained, will reach about 17 million inhabitants
