Abstract
Abstract
The present research aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the degradation of Romania’s demographic situation, with a particular focus on the implications of the aging trend. The study aims to investigate how this demographic shift may lead, in the absence of reformation measures, to elevated levels of poverty, social exclusion, and dependency among the elderly population. The contributing factors to this phenomenon include migration patterns, negative natural population growth, and the increasing life expectancy of the population. These factors collectively result in a growing imbalance between the elderly and working-age populations. The repercussions of this demographic shift include heightened pension costs, increased public debt, exacerbated social inequalities, and a potential hinderance to economic growth.
