Nor does the situation improve that, like most European countries, Moldova fights against a extremist decline in fertilityand besides high mortality, related to low life expectancy (10 years below the EU average).
"The population of Moldova was never very numerous, but in the times of the russian Union (when the country was part of it) it grew stable, which was associated with the demographic surplus after planet War II.

Assuming even the pace of emigration is stopped, Moldova will inactive not face depopulation, all by low replacement ratio of generations. From the calculations of Kamil Kiss, made on the basis of Moldovan data, it can be seen that due to the difference between births and deaths there The population is reduced by 5-10 1000 people per year.
"The planet Bank estimates that as early as 2040 the population of this country will fall below 2 million and By 2050, it will scope around 1.8 million – emphasizes the expert, at the same time informing that the situation may be even worse, as the erstwhile forecasts were usually besides optimistic and the rate of depopulation higher than expected.
