România "cocoşată şi ridată" şi colapsul demografic care ţine de 34 de ani. Câţi bătrâni sunt în ţara noastră şi care sunt zonele cu cei mai mulţi vârstnici - date populaţie INS - Economica.net

As of January 1, 2026, Romania's population aged 65 and over reached 3.9 million, making up 20.5% of the total population. The country has experienced a continuous natural decline since 1992, with no annual recovery. The demographic situation worsened significantly between 2020 and 2025, with a negative natural growth of 80,000 to 100,000 people annually. The regions with the highest elderly populations are North-East and South-Muntenia, while Bucharest-Ilfov has the youngest demographic. The median age in Romania is lower than the EU average, indicating ongoing aging trends. Experts suggest there are no immediate solutions to reverse this demographic decline, which is exacerbated by high mortality rates and low birth rates.
