Abstract: The aim of the paper is to determine the way in which the global phenomenon of aging population is influencing Romanian demographic structure and the impact of this fact on socio-economic aspects of the country. In order to reach this purpose, we have firstly made a brief presentation of the EU’s situation regarding the aging population, with a particular focus on the Eastern Europe, and then we have analyzed and interpreted information included in several statistical reports, data-bases and year-books. The results indicate that Romania is facing a decreasing fertility rate and an increasing life expectancy, which induce an aging population trend, with three major consequences: decreasing economic growth, maintaining Romania's dependence on foreign capitals and increasing the pressure on state budget, on long term.
