Se reîntorc românii la țară? 76.000 de adolescenți și adulți s-au decis anul trecut să părăsească marile orașe - Economica.net
In 2025, the trend of Romanians moving from urban to rural areas reversed, with 76,000 people relocating to the countryside. This brought the rural population to 7.4 million, representing 47.4% of the total population. Despite the increase, rural living conditions remain challenging, with many households lacking basic amenities like indoor bathrooms. Rural residents also face higher rates of housing issues compared to urban dwellers. Employment patterns show that rural workers often work longer hours than their urban counterparts, particularly among those with lower education levels.
