Abstract: The approach of this article is to bring forward the long-term consequences of emigration over age population structure, visible in Bacãu, which is a county from East Romania. Complexity of this social phenomenon provides us different perspectives of analyze and partial explanations concerning the present demographic situation that Bacãu county is facing concerning emigration and its impact on age population structure, taking in count that this county register one of the strongest emigration in Romania. Under economic, political and cultural pressure, people react by trying to find solutions for a better living, as emigration in this case, which has a long term negative impact. Even if it is often seen as an economic privilege, migration, and especially emigration in our case, cause major changes whose cyclical effects are manifested in demographic, social and economic aspects. Therefore, migration is the indirect result of political, economic and social conjecture with worrying implications on population. These implications, already visible in Bacãu county, denounce a demographic decline redirected on changing the population age structure translated by a decrease of young population and an increase of old population rate. To reduce the syncope of a descriptive analysis, in this article are used collected data, from National Institute of Statistics, data that are outlined through cartographic method.
