* Despite numerous community funding programs Dolj Counties continues to be poor counties where unemployment rate is very high, youth perspectives are very low and their participation in the community life and development is very low or inexistent.
Adding to the problem is the aging population of the county. In the recent years the rate of natural increase has been negative, especially in the Oltenia region of Romania, and this is leading to increasing problems in terms of bridging the intergenerational gap that is forming between the youth and elderly people.
On one hand we have the youth who are passive, inactive and feel a general sense of apathy. On the other hand we have an aging population that is becoming more and more disconnected with the social realities and which is not prepared to keep up with the frenetic pace of modern day life.
The results are that the elder are abandoned in nursing homes and get disconnected from socializing with young people.
