The aging of the population occurs at a different rate for the strata of the population, separated by ethnicity and (or) religion. The dominant group (ethnic Romanians and believers affiliated with the Romanian Orthodox Church) is imposing the trend at the national level, said Professor Claudiu Herceliu, deputy dean of the Faculty of Cybernetics.
The data were obtained from the INS, as well as from IPUMS (an institution affiliated with the University of Minnesota), which manages the Integrated Microdata Series for Public Use, the largest individual-level population database in the world. IPUMS ‘collects’ microdata samples from international census records as well as international survey data.
Among the ethnic groups analyzed by Professor Herceliou, the Roma population has the “youngest” median age (but also the median), with the median age falling from 26.9 to 26.6 years between the 1977 and 2011 censuses.
The oldest are Jews (average age about 56 years), followed by Armenians (average age 55), and the “youngest” are Roma, Turks, and Ukrainians.
Middle age of the population represents the average age of the population, under age is meant the time that has passed from the date of birth of a person to a certain moment of observation.
Middle age this is an indicator that divides the country’s population into two equal parts, the average value is the average age
