    Analysis of gender quotas implementation for women empowerment: EU and Republic of Moldova’s experience
    (Editura Academiei Române, Institutul de Cercetări Economice și Sociale Gheorghe Zane, 2019) Ciobanu, Mihail; Lucasenco, Eugenia
    Promoting gender equality and women empowerment has been one of the Millennium Development Goals of United Nations that nearly all world countries committed to achieve by 2015, including EU countries and Republic of Moldova. The slow progress towards this goal made it remain part of the UN agenda for the next 15 years. Due to that, it became necessary to analyze how an instrument like gender quotas can be used as some sort of last resort in this context in EU countries and in the Republic of Moldova. The purpose of the research is to analyze the experience of EU countries and Republic of Moldova on gender quotas as a tool for women empowerment and to see the opinions of employers and employees from Moldova on gender quotas. The research methods applied in the research include: legal analysis, induction and statistical analysis. The results of the survey on the opinions on gender quotas have shown that the views on gender quotas are mostly negative. Employers, even though recognizing their potential utility, have a pronounced reticence towards them, while opinions of employees were divided: some were optimistic and supported the idea, while others were sceptical that gender quotas have some potential for women empowerment and others pointed to other areas, like education, towards which more attention is needed for women empowerment.

    (Editura Academiei Române, Institutul de Cercetări Economice și Sociale Gheorghe Zane, 2025) Popa, Viorica; Tirigan, Sergiu
    In accordance with its long-term strategic visions and based on cooperation with external partners, the Republic of Moldova is pursuing a strategy of diversifying energy supply both by developing energy transport networks, especially through cross-border interconnection projects, and by consolidating and diversifying domestic sources of supply. The exploitation of renewable energy sources is an important pillar for ensuring the energy autonomy of the Republic of Moldova, with the potential to bring significant benefits to the country's socio-economic development, including through possible synergies with sustainable development measures and the adoption of development models aimed at increasing economic competitiveness and reducing the carbon footprint. Voluntarily, under the Energy Strategy 2030, the Republic of Moldova has set a target of reaching a 20% share of renewable energy sources in the 2020 energy mix, and a 10% share of electricity production from renewable sources in total gross consumption. Under the Energy Community Treaty, the Republic of Moldova committed to achieving a 17% share of renewable sources in its 2020 energy mix.

    Profiluri sociodemografice ale localităţilor: repere pentru politici publice
    (INCE, ASEM, 2026) Buciuceanu-Vrabie, Mariana; Chistruga-Sînchevici, Inga
    Lucrarea „Profiluri sociodemografice ale localităților: repere pentru politici publice” propune un instrument analitic aplicat, construit pentru a sprijini autoritățile publice locale în înțelegerea tendințelor demografice și în integrarea acestora în politicile locale. Abordarea este fundamentată pe principiile guvernanței bazate pe dovezi și pe necesitatea corelării datelor statistice cu procesele decizionale la nivel local, într-un context caracterizat de resurse limitate și nevoi crescânde ale populației. În acest sens, lucrarea se poziționează la intersecția dintre analiza demografică și managementul public, contribuind la operaționalizarea datelor în instrumente concrete de planificare.
