AIM
- The project tries to add Romania and Moldova to the existing knowledge about fertility dynamics, and thus completing the demographic picture of Europe, as both countries have not been included in most comparative analyses related to Eastern Europe, usually due to data quality.
- The final goal of FERM project is to offer a set of academic informed policies to recover fertility for Romania and Moldova through the complex research of fertility dynamics and determining factors, highlighting the specifics of national contexts and their impact on fertility
OBJECTIVES
