THE STRONG HISTORY AND PROBLEMATIC FUTURE OF INTERGENERATIONAL EVERYDAY RELATIONS IN ROMANIA.

So what is happening to the European Union? A lot of people have asked this question, but very few asked it about Romania. Romania, just like the EU is under tremendous pressure. It is registering changing trends with powerful effects, such as demographic change which is widening rapidly. The real sting behind demographic change resides in the elements that have led to it and which ensure future similar trends. The largely unnoticed extension of the new intergenerational relationships in Romania has brought their own contribution to demographic evolution. The above discussion it is not just about demographics, but, it is crucially a social inquiry on "meta-demographics" or who gets to make the rules within which demographic transition takes place. We consider pertinent historical examples and clear qualitative and quantitative data related to Inter-generational relationships and the way they have been coupled for long periods of time and the way in which have been uncoupled presently. The ramifications created by inter-generational relationships cannot be identified or equated in that perfect way, but we can capture realities that prove their importance in social cohesion, economic development, community networking, value transmission and dominant system meaning. Different social forces and interests are rearticulated with the change of inter-generational relationships in Romania. On what conditions does it depend? Inter-generational relations reflect and sustain the general consensus while also manufacture consent. Extensive empirical work has been conducted to demonstrate the adequacy to explain this theory and to develop this insight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
