摘要:AbstractIt is obvious nowadays that population are decreasing in number, but increasing in longevity. There are new lifestyles and new patterns of migration and all this affects higher education systems all over Europe. In this new context, higher education institutions may be deeply challenged by the existing and future demographic shifts in terms of the organization of their academic work, their organizational cultures and institutional identities, as well as concerning newly emerging types of student flows. Starting from such aspects, our paper aims to emphasize the connection existing between education and demography in Romania, as those two concepts influences one another. To assess the impact of demography on education in Romania, qualitative and quantitative methods will be used. Considering the obtained results, this paper is intended to have a relevant impact on the academic level and perhaps on the national policy regarding demography.
