    The situation of vulnerable families and children during the period of COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Moldova
    (Performantica, 2020) Ciobanu, Mihail
    The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has spread to almost every country in the world, affecting tens of millions of people. The restrictive measures imposed have led to significant changes in multiple spheres of human life, with major consequences, especially for the population from socially vulnerable categories, of which children are some of the most affected socially and economically, due to their dependent status on parents and / or other significant adults. In addition to other countries in the world affected by the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis, there is also the Republic of Moldova. Therefore, this article analyzes the current situation of vulnerable children and families in the Republic of Moldova based on data of some studies of national organizations and the author's own study. The research results showed that the vulnerable families had suffered a sharp reduction of income, loss of jobs and difficulties in getting online educational services for their children, especially families with 3 or more children, single-parents and the families from rural areas that doesn’t have the necessary equipment or internet connection. This also has been exacerbated by the issues with offering social benefits and access to socio-medical services. At the same time numerous vulnerable families were getting support from various agents like NGOs, state institutions and other types of organizations. While members of vulnerable families expressed fears of isolation, food insecurity and other psychological and financial issues they remained hopeful and wished for a source of stable income; direct psychological, material support and quality online education. Also, the study on the changes in the expenditures in the pandemic period has shown a more significant prioritization of expenditures for goods for basic necessities in the population.

    Key dimensions of human capital as an important factor in enhancing economic development: case of the Republic of Moldova
    (Prague University of Economics and Business, 2025) Popa, Marina; Gribincea, Corina
    Over time, human capital has always been a topic of strategic importance for the development of countries around the world. People are the basic resources for economic growth. Various authors have attempted to identify the key factors that determine the formation of effective human capital. The human capital ecosystem can be formed by knowledge, skills, health, but also by attitude, involvement, and creativity. The level of development of countries depends on the capacity and training of human capital. The authors aim to identify the elements that contribute to the formation of efficient human capital, how it has evolved over time, and what are currently the key factors in a world increasingly dictated by artificial intelligence, to the disadvantage of human intelligence. In present research we applied primarily logical and historical methods, as well as dialectical ascents from the abstract to the concrete, including general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Based on main results, can be concluded that Republic of Moldova, being a developing country with a fragile economy, needs a human factor prepared for all the challenges it faces in the context of EU integration, but also a war at the border. The demographic crisis, the migration process, studies that do not correspond to the labor market, and the lack of talent represent the shortcomings of human capital in the Republic of Moldova, and this creates a series of problems for the national economy. It is imperative to identify the main determining factors in the growth of human capital potential, both using the example of other countries and the situation in the Republic of Moldova.
