Probleme de adaptare ale persoanelor vârstnice la tehnologiile digitale [Articol]
(CEP USM, 2025) Salcuțan, Liliana
This pilot study on older people’s difficulties in adapting to digital technologies has provided a comprehensive insight into how older people relate to the digital innovations shaping contemporary society. The results show that although digital technologies have permeated all areas of social, economic and cultural life, the process of integration is uneven and older people remain one of the most vulnerable groups in the face of this rapid transformation. Studying digital technologies cannot be imposed on older people by standardized methods or abstract formats. They need a personalized approach, centered on their pace and ability, with clear explanations, practical exercises and adapted materials. This study identified issues that prevent older people from learning digital technologies. The study, conducted in the municipality of Chisinau, on a sample of 110 respondents: 64 women and 46 men, provided us with solutions to improve their quality of life.

Integrarea femeilor refugiate din Ucraina în Republica Moldova: între vulnerabilitate structurală și potențial socio-economic [Articol]
(CEP USM, 2025) Onofrei, Aliona
The article analyzes the integration of Ukrainian refugee women in the Republic of Moldova, with a focus on legal, institutional, and gender-based challenges. The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of national policies in ensuring socio-economic inclusion for this vulnerable group. The study uses a qualitative, descriptive-analytical method based on the content analysis of normative documents, national and international reports, and recent academic research. Special attention is given to gender disparities, access to employment, education, housing, healthcare, and protection from gender-based violence. The findings reveal that despite existing legal provisions, beneficiaries of temporary protection face structural discrimination and exclusion from key integration mechanisms. Institutional gaps and fragmented coordination between public authorities and civil society further hinder the sustainability of integration efforts. The article emphasizes the need for inclusive, gender-sensitive public policies and stronger intersectoral cooperation to ensure equal access to rights and opportunities for all refugee women.
