Romania’s population has dropped to 19 million, Tudorel Andrej, president of the National Institute of Statistics, said on Realitatea TV on Thursday. We will have about 19 million,” announced Andriy Tudorel.
“According to the head of the National Security Service, we have 100 children under the age of 15 for every 143 grandparents. 20-30 years ago it was the opposite. I am a bit pessimistic about demographic evolution. If the economy can be fixed, then in demography, unfortunately, this is not the case. If a political solution was enough in the totalitarian system, as it was in 1967, the birth rate is increasing, it has increased to half a million, it has doubled, now it is no longer possible. Unfortunately, according to the latest data for 2020, 2021, we will have 143 grandparents who have 100 children under the age of 15. 20-30 years ago it was the opposite. Practically now there will be grandparents who will not have children. This means large imbalances in the labor market and pensions, Andriy Tudorel also said.
