SOCIOECONOMIC STUDY
The diagrams regarding the evolution of the inhabitants number indicate a diminution. In 2002, the weight of the population with ages between 0 and 44 years represented 59% from the total number of inhabitants.
The diagrams regarding the evolution of the inhabitants’ number on age groups and sexes indicate on one side the decrease of the birth rate, and on another side a balance relatively poised, in all the studied period, between the weight of women’s number and that of the men’s number. Still, men are prevalent.
The evolution of the ratio resulted from the quotient of inhabitants’ number divided by that of dwellings’ number indicates a increase of the comfort: 55 m˛/person in 1992 comes to 60 m˛/person in 2002.
The diagram of the consumptions’ evolution indicates a small increase, fact which denotes a small increase of the comfort level.
In 1992, the percent of employed population was 31.33% from the total number of the inhabitants and 46.47% from the total number of the inhabitants with ages between 20 and 65 years. In 2002, the percent of employees was 27.39% from the total number of the inhabitants and 42.43% from the total number of the inhabitants with ages between 20 and 65 years.
The main occupations are the same: fishing, navigation and vegetable growing (20 ha), but in the last period an increase preoccupation for the touristic offer development can be added. The activities of the nowadays commercial societies are: fish breeding, commerce and tourism. The arable land cultivated diminished from 850 ha to 700 ha.
The touristic offer is enough good, rural tourism being prevalent.
Public services are minimal.
Despite the fact that beside the Romanians, Ukraineans are living, these last declare the Romanian nationality.
