      Romania has lost 2.9 million people to net migration since 1992. Combined with low birth rates and an aging population, the country’s population has dropped by 16.5%.

      Some counties have seen staggering declines:

      • Hunedoara: −35.9%

      • Caraș-Severin: −35.7%

      • Teleorman: −35.3%

      • Tulcea & Brăila: −30.8%

      Afaik most of this decline is due to young people leaving the country for better economic prospects elsewhere in the EU.

      Hardly talked about? Maybe in your circles.

      The demographic issues of Romania, Central-Eastern Europe, and really Europe as a whole, are quite often talked about

      What is remarkable is how quickly Romania’s population decline occurred

      Above replacement fertility until 1989 and then immediately to negative growth in 1992. Other countries that went below-replacement at a similar time (Poland, Slovakia) went negative way into the 2000s, despite having lower fertility rates than Romania on average

      So romania urgently needs 4 million people that want to get stuff done?

      Gdp per capita and HDI has also improved dramatically in that time. It is currently one of the European countries with the strongest economic growth

      It’s almost like, when you use government policy to force people to have large families for decades and then you stop, they also – stop.

      Well, now that the economic situation is rapidly deteriorating even in the more wealthy EU countries, Romanians may start to return home, like the Polish have begun to.

      I’m hearing signs of some people returning. Property prices are growing and Romania could turn around as has Poland.

      For comparison: Romania is 7× larger than the Netherlands, but the latter is about to overtake it in terms of population.

      The ones looking for (and capable of working towards) a good future recognize early on that there isn’t one in this country, so they leave. Students leave early on studying at universities abroad and seeing how much better life is the further West you go, most don’t return.

      Those of us who stay, try to carve out a life for ourselves but it’s tough. The places with opportunities are also overcrowded and prohibitively expensive, while less in-demand places offer few and not very good opportunities. Those of us with university degrees hoping for a financially stable life try to get remote jobs from Western companies but even those opportunities are drying up.

      Building or developing anything that requires the sort of funding only the state can grant is nearly impossible due to rampant nepotism and corruption in the political sphere, the Orthodox Church sucking up massive amounts of funds while having an iron grip over the general population.

      Most of those who could achieve something leave, the ones who stay are the ones who don’t have other options.

      Not many people talk about romania’s severe demographic crisis, that’s the truth.
