Abstract: The changes occurred over time in the population have effects on the economy, especially the reductions in the birth rate which may lead to disturbances in the population structure. The relationship between the economic growth and the birth rate in Romania is analysed over an 11-year period, in order to see its intensity. The presentation of the evolution of the gross domestic product and of the birth rate is completed by the calculation of the Spearman coefficient for determining the intensity of the relationship between the two indicators. The decrease of the birth rate is determined, to a modest extent, by the economic growth, with a wide range of factors that influence it. In this situation, the establishment and implementation of a birth rate recovery strategy is highly necessary to reduce the imbalance created in the population structure.
