摘要：The natural dynamics of the population of the Eastern Carpathian depressions. This study aims
to analyze the natural dynamics of the population from nine depressions of the Eastern Carpathian Mountains,
which totalize 144 administrative-territorial units. The demographic indicators analysed were the birth rate,
the mortality rate and the natural balance, indicators calculated on the basis of the statistical data from the
last Romanian Census, that of 2011. Also, for the values obtained, we tried to identify possible causes that led
to the positive or negative evolution of the indicators. In most of the depressions studied, there is a natural
deficit, and the mortality rate values are above the birth rate in most of the administrative units. The biggest
dysfunctions are in Oaşului Depression, Maramureş Depression, Giurgeului Depression and Vama-Moldoviţa
Depression. Natural surplus is specific for most administrative-territorial units forming Ciucului Depression,
Brașov Depression and Întorsura Buzăului Depression.
