    Artificial intelligence and its economic challenges in EU countries: implication for the Republic of Moldova
    (2025) Pisaniuc, Maia
    This article aims to determine the future influence of AI on the Moldovan economy. The relevance of this research topic derives from the European Commission's decision to launch the European AI Strategy as early as 2018, with fundamental objectives related to the adoption of AI throughout the economy, in both the public and private sectors. The strategy also aims to prepare society for the transformations brought about by AI, and to oversee the functioning of an appropriate ethical and legal framework that responds to the EU's vision regarding technological values. Global projections also estimate that, by 2030, around 70% of businesses will use at least one artificial intelligence technology, such as computer vision, natural language processing, virtual assistants, automation/robotics and machine learning. It is estimated that this technology will generate an additional annual increase in global GDP of around 1.2%, with disruptive effects on countries, businesses and the labour market. This makes the topic of this research a global issue of high timelines. The research method is a comparative approach to the benefits of AI and the risks it may generate. Synthesis and inference, as well as scenario building based on factual data and a pragmatic approach that respects realism and the possibility of anticipating disruptive actions. The research will quantify the impact of AI on the structure of the Moldovan economy and the new business models it will generate, as well as the problems that may arise in connection with it. The research will also identify how the labour market of the Republic of Moldova will change in the context of EU integration and assess the current preparedness for the implementation of EU strategies in the field of AI.

    Economic singularity: the effect of innovation, or unpredictable reality
    (2025) Pisaniuc, Maia
    Lately, multiple publications, strategies, policies at EU level as well as at global level are focused on the need to innovate the economy based on cutting-edge technologies and disruptive innovations. These innovations are gaining ground as they are being implemented by most large companies, as well as used at the level of states, governments in multiple aspects. The main purpose of this publication being to present the term economic singularity as an unpredictable effect that disruptive innovations can generate. The research aims to predict the situation, in the case of the spread of disruptive technologies on the economy of countries and the effects it may cause. To see the situation of the possible emergence of this uncontrolled point called economic singularity.

    Schimbări în comportamentul contraceptiv și autonomia reproductivă: perspective din Republica Moldova
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Ciubotaru, Victoria
    Reproductive autonomy is a central dimension of women’s rights and gender equality. This paper analyses the evolution of reproductive decision-making among women aged 18–49 in the Republic of Moldova, based on secondary analysis of microdata from the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) conducted in 2020 and 2024. The findings indicate an increase in women’s participation in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) decision-making from 73% in 2020 to 77% in 2024. Despite progress, significant disparities persist across age, region, income level, and education. These results reflect the importance of strengthening SRHR policies aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 3.7 and 5.6, expanding access to comprehensive sexuality education, and addressing socio-economic vulnerabilities. The study highlights the need for multisectoral interventions that enhance gender equity, reproductive rights, and informed decision-making.

    Statistical indicator usually resident population (pro): conceptual approaches and implementation perspectives in the Republic of Moldova
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Bargan, Natalia
    The “Usually Resident Population” (URP) indicator has become the international standard for demographic statistics, serving as a basis for public policies in migration, labor markets, education, and health. This paper examines the conceptual foundations of URP, the international and European regulatory frameworks, and the specific challenges of its implementation in the Republic of Moldova. The research relies on a comparative analysis of UN and Eurostat guidelines, national legislation, and the 2014 and 2024 census experiences. Findings highlight the advantages of URP for international comparability and evidence-based policymaking, while also revealing difficulties caused by large-scale emigration and weak administrative registers. The experience of the Republic of Moldova demonstrates that PRO can become a strategic tool in socio-economic planning, provided that administrative sources are connected and methodological harmonization is achieved with the European Statistical System.

    Contribuția cauzelor de deces în evoluția mortalității premature în rândul bărbaților în țări europene selectate
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Pahomii, Irina
    Premature mortality among the adult population is a significant concern in contemporary demography. However, a thorough understanding of the progress made requires a more detailed examination of causes of death and, more specifically, their role in the development of premature mortality. This study aims to evaluate recent changes in the age and cause-specific structure of premature mortality among the male population of selected European countries, focusing on the varied impact of causes of death on lifespan disparity. The calculation of cause-specific contributions to lifespan disparity was carried out using the stepwise replacement algorithm, applied to both age structure and cause-ofdeath profiles. The findings show a notable shift away from reducing early-life mortality towards improvements seen in adulthood, where non-communicable diseases – especially cardiovascular conditions and neoplasms – are central. In many cases, the continued or renewed rise in chronic disease-related deaths among adults undermines earlier progress. In this context, further reductions in lifespan inequality will rely on more effectively targeted health policies, focusing on preventing and managing chronic conditions and promoting health equity throughout the entire life course. The article was elaborated under the research subprogramme 030102: Demographic Transition in the Republic of Moldova: Specific Features, Socio-Economic Implications, and the Consolidation of Demographic Resilience (2024-2027).
