The resident population in Romania has fallen to just over 19 million inhabitants, while the aging phenomenon continues to intensify - there are now 130 elderly people for every hundred young people under 15.

Data from the National Institute of Statistics, published on Friday, show that while the share of people over 65 has increased, the number of children under 14 has decreased slightly since the beginning of the year.

At the same time, the demographic dependency ratio has stagnated at 56 young people without income and elderly people per 100 adults.

Official figures also show that, last year, the number of immigrants exceeded that of emigrants by almost 60 thousand people.
