Работещи ли са демографските политики в България?
Demographic Policies of Bulgaria: do they Work?

Summary/Abstract: The interdisciplinary report “Measures for overcoming the demographic crisis in the Republic of Bulgaria” commissioned by the Bulgarian Government and carried out by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) examines in detail and depth the ongoing demographic crisis in Bulgaria, and comes forward with hundreds of possible mitigation measures in the following areas: fertility and family policies; mortality, ageing and quality of life; demographic development and labor resources; vulnerable ethnic and religious groups and communities; and migration and national identity. Those measures, however, are supplied in an unstructured and un prioritized form, with no particular set of targets and implementation timeframe specified, making them hardly suitable for a direct use by relevant decision makers. The present notes argue that a designated team of social technologists and imitation modelling experts could possibly use the BAS report’s data in order to assess the performance potential of selected packages of measures (demographic policies) that could then become the subject of public debate and political decision.
