Abstract: - Demographic characteristics of small towns in Caraș-Severin County
in the post-communist period (1992-2011). This study aims to highlight some of
the demographic characteristics of small towns in Caraş-Severin County between
1992 and 2011 Censuses. Six small towns (under 25,000 inhabitants) were
identified: Anina, Băile Herculane, Bocşa, Moldova Nouă, Oraviţa and Oţelu Roşu.
The numerical evolution of the population, the natural dynamics and the
migratory dynamics of this period are analysed, in parallel with the
identification of the economic causes that led to the evolution or the
involution of the analysed indicators values. Natural and migratory dynamics
have recorded worrying values in small cities in Caraș-Severin County, with
declining birth rates, along with an increase in mortality rates and a number of
departures in 1992-2011 that exceeded the number of establishments. Therefore, a
negative migration balance was added to the natural deficit, contributing to an
ever-increasing demographic decline.
