Rural space is a vital field for a country, both by its dimensions and the complex effects that it generates. It is the main source of natural agricultural and non-agricultural raw materials. The rural development is of particular importance for the economy of the Republic of Moldova because about 80% of the country is rural areas where more than 58% of the population lives. Our country's rural space are characterized mainly by poor living conditions, characterized by underdevelopment infrastructure, a poorly diversified rural economy that depends largely on agriculture. The main specific demographic tendencies in rural areas are the decrease and aging population, due to the decline in natural increase and migration from rural to urban phenomenon or abroad, especially among young people. Low educational level of rural population is another important issue from the perspective of employment. Rural incomes are lower than urban incomes and the difference between revenues continue to grow, as a result the incidence of poverty is significantly higher in rural areas.
