Between May 17-19, 2023, the Romanian Academy of Medical Sciences organized, under the auspices of the Romanian Academy, the first edition of the National Conference “Family Health and Birth Rate”. The event took place in the Great Hall of the Romanian Academy and included 14 sections.
Within the Demography section, prof. Marian Preda, PhD, rector of the University of Bucharest and teaching staff at the Faculty of Sociology of the University of Bucharest, gave the presentation entitled “Problems and social risks generated by the evolution of the population of Romania”, in which he emphasized some ideas related to the problems and social risks generated by the evolution of Romania’s population.
Prof. Marian Preda began his presentation by highlighting the general aspects regarding the concept of “risk”, later reviewing some of the social risks facing Romania, whether we are talking about the dramatic decrease in the population (from approx. 23 million people in 1989 to just over 19 million people in December 2021), about the dramatic decline in the number of children and young people or about regional differences.
Next, prof. Marian Preda presented the effects of these risks: on the education system, on the labor market, on the economy, on the birth rate and, last but not least, on housing.
At the end of the speech, Marian Preda presented to the audience some of the social sectors that, through investments, can change Romania for the better: Romanian entrepreneurs, high-performing universities and research institutes, young people, children, emigrants who can return and creative communities.
The Demography section of the conference that was moderated by prof. Marian Preda and the statistician Tudorel Andrei, president of the National Institute of Statistics, started with a presentation gave by psychologist Daniel David, rector of the “Babeș-Bolyai” University in Cluj-Napoca, which focused on family and birth, in an intercultural psychology paradigm. Also, in the same section, the researcher Ionel Muntele, who presented aspects related to the typology of the evolution of fertility in Romania, after 1990, and prof. Tudorel Andrei, who brought into discussion the degree of aging of the resident population of Romania, had interventions. The section was concluded by the presentation “Population aging among religious and ethnic groups in Romania”, gave by prof. Claudiu Herţeliu.
The National Conference “Family Health and Birth Rate” aimed to sound the alarm on the serious medium and long-term consequences of depopulation at the national level, through the multidisciplinary approach to family health and birth rate, starting from the medical dimension of this phenomenon and continuing with its psychological, anthropological, sociological, demographic, economic and legislative aspects.
