In an <a href=\"http:\/\/ipn.md\/en\/special\/77882\" target=\"_blank\"><u>article<\/u><\/a> published by IPN, Olga Gagauz, director of the Demographic Research Center, said that so far we had 40,000 and 38,000 births a year, but, given that more young people leave, we lose those potential parents and there will be small feminine generations of reproductive age, those that were born at the end of the 1990s and at the start of the 2000s. The number of births will decrease continuously, possibly to even 20,000 births a year by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>\t\u201cUntil now, all the institutions functioned and were aimed at the young population and the able to work people. Now a reorientation will be needed. In fact, the population dynamics must be integrated into all the policies and sector strategies,\u201d stated Olga Gagauz. According to her, the information about the number of people, the distribution by age and sexes must be taken into account in the planning and management of each sector. \u201cWe must know how many beds we need for the health protection system, how many maternity hospitals we need given this continuous decline in the number of births.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe Center\u2019s director also said that in an aging society, the role of the elderly persons will increase. These will have a greater influence on the political class because they will include more persons with the right to vote and will thus influence the results of election campaigns. The young people can become a vulnerable social group, with a small role in society.<\/p>\n<p>\tOn the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the declaration of Moldova\u2019s Independence, IPN News Agency decided to depict the portrait of the current Republic of Moldova. For the purpose, it provoked a number of people, including state officials, politicians, businessmen, civil rights activists and persons without posts and titles, but who have what to say. The generic picture is called \u201cThoughts about and for Moldova\u201d. The articles started to be published on July 18.<\/p>\n<div id=\"related_pages_keyphrase\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Society in Moldova must adjust to this new structure of the population, with a large number of elderly people and a low number of children and young people.
