    Strengthening demographic resilience through return migration and diaspora in Moldova
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Tabac, Tatiana
    Return migration and diaspora engagement are increasingly recognized as potential levers for strengthening demographic and socioeconomic resilience in Moldova, a country marked by persistent emigration, population decline, and aging. This article examines how the scale and characteristics of Moldovan return migration affect demographic decline and how national policies attempt to capitalize on the potential of return migrants and the diaspora. Using disaggregated data on international migrant flows by citizenship, we provide a novel analytical perspective on the magnitude and characteristics of return migration. The findings reveal that over the past decade, Moldovan citizens accounted for 93.4% of the total negative migration balance, underscoring that demographic imbalances are primarily driven by the outflow of the native population, while the contribution of foreign nationals to net migration remains limited. Nevertheless, specific groups of foreign residents-particularly Romanian and Russian citizens-exerted a compensatory demographic effect, partially offsetting net losses in certain years. In practice, in certain years, population decline caused by Moldovan emigration was mitigated by positive net inflows from Romania and Russia. These results highlight both the demographic vulnerability associated with continued emigration and the potential role of selective immigration in alleviating population loss.

    Peculiarities of demographic development in Tajikistan
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Akbar, Subkhonov
    The importance of the topic: The current demographic situation in Tajikistan is to some extent a continuation of the demographic behavior that took place before the collapse of the Soviet Union, especially in matters of reproductive and matrimonial behavior of the population. Currently, the population of Tajikistan is about 10.3 million people in 2024, of which the share of the labor force is -57.5%, the population under the working age is 35.9%, and the population older than the working age is 6.6%. At the same time, the latest official statistical sources show that the population growth in 2023 was - 2.1% and the total fertility rate is 3.0 in 2023. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of demographic development in Tajikistan and develop practical measures to achieve a demographic optimum. The main objectives of the research include studying the relationships between demographic phenomena and processes such as fertility, mortality, marriage, migration; modeling and forecasting these processes; developing methods for studying demographic processes and forecasting. The results: We have found that demographic development has its own characteristics in Tajikistan. The lack of productive employment, especially for women and men, a large proportion of the rural population (71%) and the preserved traditions and customs in matters of fertility serve as features of demographic development.

    Early childhood education system in Ukraine during wartime: problems and challenges
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Aksyonova, Svitlana; Krimer, Borys
    Work-life balance has long been a subject of public and academic debate in countries with varying degrees of social policy development. Preschools are one of the tools for achieving such a balance, as they provide care and education for children while their parents have the opportunity to pursue professional activities. The study analyzed the changes in the preschool education system during the full-scale war in Ukraine, characterized the impact of the war on infrastructure, accessibility and functioning of care services, the possibilities of restoring access under martial law, and regional characteristics. The set of factors determining functioning and quality of the preschool system in conditions of full-scale war was supplemented by the security situation at the regional level, territorial accessibility of institutions for both parents and preschool staff, and the availability of shelters equipped for children.

    Migration in the European Union in the post-pandemic period. Economic implications
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Mihaila, Nicoleta
    Migration has existed since ancient times, but has recorded different intensities from one historical stage to another and has developed new forms. The aim of the paper is to analyze the phenomenon of migration and remittances in the European Union in the post-pandemic period (2021-2024), and their economic implications (effects on the labor market, economic growth and demographic balance). The methodology used is descriptive and empirical, by calling on various bibliographic sources, with a preponderance of foreign specialized literature, as well as a quantitative methodology, for the processing and analysis of data taken from international databases.

    Demographic recovery policies adopted in the member states of the European Union
    (INCE, ASEM, 2025) Stanescu, Simona Maria; Mihaiu, Simona; Costache, Constanta
    Among the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda is Goal 3 "Health and well-being for all". Starting from this objective, the paper aims to analyze the demographic recovery policies adopted at the level of the European Union member states, taking into account the fact that at this moment, the international demographic context is marked by declining fertility, accentuated labor migration and population aging. At the same time, in recent years there has been an increased public attention to promoting active and healthy aging, friendly to the environment. One of the premises of the research is that the decision to have children is being postponed more and more. The reasons are diverse and will be explored within the research theme. On the other hand, there are couples who do not want children at all. Another premise of the research is that some member states of the European Union have managed to adopt successful policies in promoting families/couples with children.
