    The demographic dividend and demographic window of opportunity: a cross-national comparative analysis
    (2025) Soldan, Elena
    This study presents an empirical analysis of the demographic dividend (DD) and the demographic window of opportunity (DWO), examining their distinct roles in analysing the economic implications of age-specific population dynamics. The study proposes a mixed-methods approach that combines National Transfer Accounts (NTA) with a demographic assessment of the beneficial period – the DWO. Through an empirical analysis, the study illustrates the distinctions between the demographic dividend (DD) and the demographic window of opportunity (DWO). Drawing on evidence from eight selected countries, the study reveals time lags between the opening of the DWO and the emergence of the DD, as well as cross-country variations in the magnitude of both the DWO and the DD. The proposed analytical framework offers a replicable model for evaluating population dynamics within the context of the demographic dividend.

    Sunflower production and export potential of the Republic of Moldova: evaluation, valorification
    (University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 2025) Savga, Larisa; Zugravu, Gheorghe Adrian; Colesnicova, Tatiana; Savga, Ghenadie; Turek Rahoveanu, Maria Magdalena; Zugravu, Constanta Laura; Soare, Ionica
    This paper analyzes and evaluates sunflower production and export potential of the Republic of Moldova. The article also provides a comparative analysis of sunflower production and export potential in relation to different countries, especially in EU countries. The following research methods were used in the presented work: economic analysis, logical, monographic, synthesis, comparative, etc. The research revealed the main producers, exporters and importers of sunflower in the world, EU, and Republic of Moldova. Based on national statistics, the main sunflower indicators in the country have been analyzed in terms of area, yield, and gross harvest for the period 2017-2023. In 2022, the EU received about 300,000 tones of sunflower seeds, while Ukraine, which is the world's largest producer of sunflower seeds, made a very insignificant contribution - less than 60,000 tones of EU imports. Strengthening trade agreements and improving export logistics can enhance market access and competitiveness of the Republic of Moldova.

    Enhancing the competitiveness of agricultural value chains in Moldova: national strategic directions
    (University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, 2025) Stratan, Dumitru
    Moldova's agricultural sector is a key economic pillar, yet its potential remains underutilized due to technological gaps, infrastructure deficits, market fragmentation, and financial constraints. This study examines strategies to enhance four key value chains-vegetable production, soft fruits, apiculture, and sheep/goat farming-through improved infrastructure, policy reforms, cooperative strengthening, and expanded financial access. The research integrates an extensive literature review, statistical analysis, and primary data from 100+ respondents via surveys, guided interviews, and participatory consultations. Sources include reports from the National Bureau of Statistics, FAO- Food and Agriculture Organization, GIZ- Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, IFADInternational Fund for Agricultural Development and others. Additionally, consultations with policymakers and industry leaders provided critical insights into investment needs and regulatory barriers. The study employs a mixed methods approach, combining thematic qualitative analysis with quantitative statistical interpretation. By triangulating data from multiple sources, this research offers a comprehensive assessment of Moldova’s value chains, delivering evidence-based recommendations for stakeholders, policymakers, and development partners to drive competitiveness, sustainability, and market expansion.
