IMPLICATIONS OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS IN BIRTH RATE PHENOMENON IN THE COUNTY OF SIBIU
Abstract:
In Romania, the demographic transition and the economic crisis brought about the lowest birth rate and fertility indicators ever registered in the modern history of the world, with a major socio-economic impact on middle and long term. The purpose of this paper is to identify the ensemble of socio-economic factors and to observe the way in which they influenced the birth rate decrease in the county of Sibiu, taking into account the residence environments (rural-urban) and the age groups. The results obtained are characteristic for a society where the economic condition of the family degraded and in order to meet her needs, the woman involves herself in income-generating activities as much as a man does. Birth rate decrease did not occur as a result of the disappearance of the maternal feeling, the economic factor with its multiple aspects (proper housing, larger budget, proper social protection) has remained a decisive factor in founding and enlarging the family.
