CONSIDERATIONS ON ABORTION, SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC POLICY AND DEMOGRAPHIC IMBALANCE IN ROMANIA

Abstract

The risks of modern society are of a multiple nature and importance. Fulfilling the role of state responsibility for offering health and education services is a matter of meditation, given the failures in the market for these services. Predominantly, in the industrialized world, abortion was not an offense until a suite of anti-abortion laws were adopted in the second half of the nineteenth century. It was argued in this regard that the fetus is a human being since his conception, and abortion is a form of crime. In particular, Romania has a particularly high rate of abortion, occupying a significant place in Europe from this point of view. Population is a fundamental element that determines the existence of states and their internal dynamics. The demographic issue is critical in the case of Romania. We note in this context the lack of immediate, medium and long-term integrated programs on demography, sustainable economic development, education and health. There is no universal panacea about what strategies governments should apply to meet these challenges, because the rhythm of senescence is different from one region to another and within a country from one ethnicity to another. Productivity may continue to grow due to IT and service, but to a critical point. What will follow next?
