This is a general analysis of the demographic situation in the Republic of Moldova and of changes that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. It presents trends in population size, age structure, spatial distribution, and urban/rural structure. Also, the contributions of natural increase and migration are considered. Special attention is given to the effects of "socialist industrialization" on changes in the ethnic composition of the country's population; these changes involved large-scale migration flows from Russia and Ukraine to Moldova.
