Problemele actuale ale evidenței efectivului populației în Republica Moldova

Abstract

The population is the most dynamic and sensitive component of the environment. More than any other component of the noosphere, the population is subjected to the impact of both internal (demographical) factors, as well as external factors, such as economic, political, social, natural etc. Thus, the population system has become an object of study for many scientific disciplines since ancient times. The dynamic nature of this system is investigated through intense research revealing considerable transformations in the size of the population, in its structure and repartition and other aspects of this system. In the 20th century, demographical studies extensively developed and a whole system of branches within the science of demography emerged. Several demography schools appeared in this period. This article brings into discussion several theses that, in authors' opinion, determine the performance of demographical studies in the Republic of Moldova.
