“…In the absence of reliable intercensal or postcensal population estimates, this approach let us avoid a systematic bias induced by migration flows. In Moldova, the recent period of migration intensified in comparison with the years immediately after independence was proclaimed (20). In addition, the NBS has not estimated postcensal population figures in a regional context at the time of the study.…”

Introduction. Life expectancy in Moldova after independence either fluctuated in the 1990s or stagnated in the early millennium, followed by moderate improvements since 2010. The objective of the study is to investigate the evolution of regional variations in life expectancy since independence in Moldova and to identify the main demographic components (causes of death and age groups) responsible for interregional mortality inequalities. Material and methods. Five-year average mortality rates by age and cause in the territorial profile were used for three periods: 1991-1995, 2002-2006 and 2012-2016. Abridged life tables and confidence intervals were computed. The difference in life expectancy between the two subpopulations was decomposed, according to Andreev’s method. Results. The gap in life expectancy between the best-performing and the worst-performing groups constitutes 6.0 years. Important progress has been made in the municipality of Chisinau and the northern districts of Briceni and Edinet concerning cardiovascular mortality. In 11 districts located mainly in the centre, the decline in infant mortality due to respiratory diseases was offset by the growth in adult mortality due to external causes and neoplasms. Conclusions. Regional disparities can be reduced through preventive measures targeting the key risk factors for cardiovascular disease, liver cirrhosis and external causes of death within the backward geographical area.

“…This is the case of Moldova, but also of other ex-Soviet countries that have entered the process of population decline caused by mass migration and negative natural growth (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia and Theoretical and scientifical journal Armenia). National estimates have shown that Moldova's population has declined by about 17-20% in the last three decades due to long-term emigration (Gagauz et al, 2016;Tabac & Gagauz, 2020). However, migration has affected not only the population but also its demographic characteristics due to the high share of the working-age population involved in the migration process.…”

“…Most unfavorable is the negative net migration that, cumulated, for 2014-2019 represents -221,3 thousand in absolute values and 7,7% in relative values. Such proportions of migration from Moldova were only during 2007-2011 when emigration flows intensified under the influence of family reunification policies in European countries (Tabac & Gagauz, 2020).…”

The paper focuses on analyzing the implications of international migration on changes in the number and structure of the population in Moldova in the 2014-2020 period. The paper is based on revised data on the population with usual residence and international migration. The research methodology consists of estimating and analyzing specific indicators of migration and population change: emigration and immigration rates, gross and net migration rates, age-specific net migration rates by sex, population growth rate, and others.Results show that the emigration rate during this period increased from 43 to 58 emigrants per 1000 population. The cumulative net migration is -221,3 thousand or -7,7% of the population of 2014. The mobility of Moldova's population is higher than the population mobility of Moscow or Luxembourg. The share of women involved in the migration process is lower than that of men. Youth (aged 20-34) make up a third of the annual flow of emigrants, while return migration increases at pre-retirement ages. At the same time, there is an increase in the number of children involved in international migration, which indicates the increase in families' migration for settlement. The population of Moldova decreased by -225,3 thousand in 2014Moldova decreased by -225,3 thousand in -2020. The population growth rate varies between -0,7% and -1,8% annually. The paper concludes that the most important contribution to population decline is negative international migration. Population decline remains the biggest demographic challenge for Moldova.

“…Chestionarul aplicat în rândurile lucrătorilor medicali a demonstrat că circa 87% dintre respondenți manifestă un anumit grad de ardere profesională" (MSMPS 2020c). Totodată, sistemul medical și până la pandemie se confrunta cu lipsa cadrelor, determinată de emigrația masivă a lucrătorilor medicali (Tabac, Gagauz 2020), iar în condițiile actuale această problemă s-a acutizat și mai mult.…”

Articolul se focusează pe evaluarea situației persoanelor în vârstă din Republica Moldova în contextul pandemiei COVID-19. Prin diagnosticarea socială a deschiderii structurale, instituționale, comunitare și inter-generaționale la nevoile acestei categorii de populație, se evidențiază provocările pandemice cu care aceasta se confruntă. Metodologia cercetării are la bază rezultatele studiului calitativ, realizat în lunile august−septembrie 2020 și aprilie−mai 2021 cu persoanele vârstnice, reprezentanții administrației publice locale și asistenții sociali. Prin constatări argumentate empiric, în articol sunt actualizate principalele dificultăți parvenite în contextul pandemiei și profunzimea impactului social asupra persoanelor în vârstă la nivel comunitar. Pe lângă riscul direct asupra stării de sănătate fizică, excluderea și discriminarea persoanelor în vârstă s-a accentuat în timpul pandemiei COVID-19, s-a evidențiat riscul sporit de violență și neglijare, și cazurile de stigmatizare la nivel comunitar. Resursele individuale/ familiale ale persoanelor vârstnice, în special în cazul infectării cu COVID-19 și a tratamentului, au jucat un rol important în depășirea crizei. Consecințele COVID-19 se asociază cu agravarea stării de sănătate a persoanelor vârstnice și creșterea necesarului de în servicii medicale. Atitudinile „age-iste” au loc și în perioada după carantină, subminând drepturile persoanelor vârstnice la servicii de calitate. Astfel, se accentuează necesitatea monitorizării continue a situației și combaterii atitudinilor „age-iste” în perioada post pandemie. Cuvinte-cheie: COVID-19; populația în vârstă; studiul calitativ; riscuri sociale; accesul la serviciile sociale; izolare, violență. ●●●●● The paper focuses on assessing the situation of older persons in the Republic of Moldova, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The social diagnosis of the structural, institutional, community and intergenerational openness to the needs of this category of population highlights the pandemic challenges it faces. The methodology of the study is based on the results of the qualitative study conducted in August−September 2020 and April−May 2021 with the older people, local public administration and social workers. Through empirically reasoned findings, the paper updates the main difficulties encountered in the context of the pandemic and the depth of the social impact on the older people at community level. In addition to the direct risk to physical health, the exclusion and discrimination of the older people increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increased risk of violence and neglect, and cases of stigma at community level. The individual/family resources of the older people, especially in the case of COVID-19 infection and treatment, have played an important role in overcoming the crisis. The consequences of COVID-19 are associated with a worsening of the health of the elderly and an increase in the need for medical services. “Ageist” attitudes also occurred in the post-quarantine period, undermining the rights of older people to quality services. Thus, the need for continuous monitoring of the situation and combating "ageist" attitudes in the post-pandemic period is emphasized. Keywords: COVID-19, older adults, qualitative study, social risks, access to social services, isolation, violence.
