Abstract

The reproductive behavior and its dynamics are a topic of particular relevance due to the major societal changes imposed by the modernization process currently taking place in the Republic of Moldova. Among these changes we can include an egoistic attitude towards parenthood and the correlation of parenthood with a certain level of living and a certain socio-professional status that leads to postponing the decision to become a parent in favor of completing studies and career development. The increase in the birth rate is correlated with an increase in the marriage age, but also with a fragility of the marital couple, coupled with a much higher divorce rate. Increasing the birth rate leads to a decrease in the fertile period of future mothers, and implicitly to the decrease in the average number of children per family couple (Van de Kaa, 2002), which is below the rate of natural replacement of generations (Metro Media Transilvania, 2005; Varlamova, Noskova & Sedova, 2006).
