    Evoluția industriei producerii mierii de albini din Republica Moldova în contextul reformării sectorului agricol national
    (Presa Universitară Clujeană, 2025) Turetchi, Viorel
    The economic efficiency of the domestic agricultural sector can only be ensured by implementing modern production technologies, by promoting and developing agricultural branches with a high capacity to supply products with a high economic value. Therefore, the bee honey production industry, a field with centuries-old traditions in the Republic of Moldova, perfectly conforms to this desire. Through the support programs, but also the opportunities that have opened up for local beekeepers, this branch has registered relevant progress in the last decade. However, as a result of the unfavorable economic situation, which currently prevails on the markets of the main Moldovan honey importing states, the national beekeeping registers a less favorable period. The work given, through the prism of the research carried out, represents a brief economic analysis of the evolution of the domestic beekeeping sector in the last thirty years, the periods of ascent but also of regression of the respective field, the current challenges and the ways to remedy them are reflected.

    Dezvoltarea abordărilor teoretice privind vulnerabilitatea socială bazată pe venit
    (Presa Universitară Clujeană, 2025) Pahomii, Irina; Ungur, Cristina
    Social vulnerability is a complex and interdisciplinary concept, applicable in a variety of fields, from environmental changes to inequalities based on economic, health or other criteria. However, existing theoretical approaches do not contain a fundamental concept of income-based social vulnerability. For these reasons, we intend to develop the given concept in order to create a theoretical basis for public policies, social assistance programs and social protection measures aimed at reducing this vulnerability and supporting people at risk. The research methods used in this study are: bibliographic documentation, observation, synthesis and interpretation of information. The theoretical importance of research derives from the contribution to the development of knowledge in the field of economic and social sciences. At the same time, from an applicative point of view, through the clear conceptualization of the income-based social vulnerability, the most vulnerable groups will be identified, allowing efficient and targeted targeting of resources to those most in need. The results of the study will lead to increased awareness among the public, politicians and non-governmental organizations about the challenges and risks faced by low-income individuals.

    (Presa Universitară Clujeană, 2025) Heghea, Ecaterina; Garabajii, Iulia
    În contextul îmbătrânirii populației și al provocărilor asociate cu excluziunea socială a persoanelor vârstnice, este esențial să se adopte modele manageriale inovative care să contribuie la îmbunătățirea bunăstării acestui segment vulnerabil al societății. Acest articol explorează soluții manageriale orientate spre diminuarea excluziunii sociale și promovarea incluziunii active a vârstnicilor, având ca scop final creșterea bunăstării acestora. Autorii propun propriul model de realizare a managementului de politici publice privind diminuarea excluziunii sociale a persoanelor vârstnice, precum și algoritmul unei monitorizări eficiente a excluziunii sociale, insistând asupra implicării active a autorităților publice, cât și colaborarea acestora cu organizațiile specializate, comerciale și necomerciale. In the context of the aging of the population and the challenges associated with the social exclusion of the elderly, it is essential to adopt innovative managerial models that contribute to improving the well-being of this vulnerable segment of society. This article explores managerial solutions aimed at reducing social exclusion and promoting the active inclusion of the elderly, with the ultimate goal of increasing their well-being. The authors propose their own model for the management of public policies regarding the reduction of social exclusion of the elderly, as well as the algorithm for effective monitoring of social exclusion, insisting on the active involvement of public authorities, as well as their collaboration with specialized, commercial and non-commercial organizations.

    Implicațiile medicinei reproductive asistate asupra creșterii demografice
    (Presa Universitară Clujeană, 2025) Chistruga-Sinchevici, Inga
    The research on the impact of assisted reproductive medicine on the demographic situation is particularly relevant in societies with unfavourable characteristics, including the Republic of Moldova, which is exacerbated by low fertility rates, demographic aging, and the growing depopulation phenomenon. The postponement of childbirth and the frequent spread of various sexually transmitted diseases further intensify the issue of infertility. Thus, the application of assisted reproductive medicine is becoming an increasingly present reality, being used both for treating biological infertility and for social reasons (lack of a partner etc.). The article reflects aspects regarding the specifics of applying assisted reproductive medicine in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the difficulties (financial, legal, ethical, psychological) in accessing these technologies. Special attention is given to the analysis of the legal framework in the Republic of Moldova compared to other European countries. Against the backdrop of the population’s poor reproductive health, although the number of live births conceived through assisted reproductive medicine is low, an increase in birth rates can still be facilitated through the implementation of assisted reproductive medicine. In this context, demographic policies play an essential role in supporting infertile couples to benefit from assisted reproductive medicine services.

    Financial inclusion role in the times of COVID-19 pandemics
    (Performantica, 2020) Iordachi, Victoria; Ciobu, Stela
    Governments, development institutions, and economists are promoting a broad agenda of inclusion in economic and social life, including universal access to education, health care, social security, clean water, and sanitation. Financial inclusion has come to be seen as an important part of this agenda. This reflects the view that individuals, households, and firms cannot take full advantage of available opportunities for economic and social development if they lack adequate and appropriate access to financial products and services. Financial inclusion contributes to improved household welfare, increased business productivity and fostered economic growth. The measures taken to fight COVID-19 have given the financial inclusion a significant boost thanks to a wider range of financial services that being used remotely are helping to improve decision-making. Thus, the COVID-19 crisis is driving a massive shift toward using technology and innovations. Handled responsibly, the digitalization of finance, for both individuals and private sector, can help countries rebuild better after the pandemics. The world economy is now facing an urgency to address all the existent vulnerabilities with minimum costs and maximum time-saving, while financial inclusion has an important role to play in the process of adapting to new realities.
