Local trends
When it comes of family, the natality descending trend will maintain, as the number of couples planning to have a kid in 2014 is half compared to 2013. Still, there will be more marriages than divorces.
Three times more Romanians will change their residence city in 2014, most probably continuing the visible migration from urban to rural, as a consequence of the expansion of metropolitan areas in the villages around towns and of the higher costs for living in towns versus rural areas.
When it comes of schools and education, the pre-school education will have less children, while the universitary education will have an increased number of students.
Also, more people will start to work compared to those that will retire. The domain with the highest increase in numbers of employees is believed to be IT.
On the financial side, the percentage of those that aren’t willing to get a credit to a bank increases year after year.
