Moldova · 2026-08-22

Moldova is not a footnote. It is Europe’s peacetime demographic emergency.

Population 2.87 million (2015) to 2.42 million (2024). One in four Moldovans abroad. GDP per capita among Europe’s lowest. RecyclicTech has not invented a school list — the pin is rural Moldova.

The numbers that are already public

Eurostat’s Neighbourhood East series records Moldova’s population falling from 2.87 million in 2015 to 2.42 million in 2024. IOM names Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine as the three European countries with the steepest declines from 2005 to 2024.

Rădăuți is in Suceava County. The Moldovan border is not a metaphor. Named schools will be published when a placement can be evidenced — not before.
