ALBANIAN ECONOMY

The agrarian reform in
the agricultural economy in
1945expropriated the rich owners,
nationalised the forests, waterresources,
pastures and the big herds of
livestock.Some 70211 families benefited
from the expropriated land,while an area
of 17 000 hectares was used to create the
firststate agricultural enterprises of the
socialist type. A totalnumber of 19,355
owners were expropriated. Prior to
1990,industry occupied 58 per cent of the
social product, whileagriculture 25 per
cent, with the livestock production
givingless than 1/3 of the total
agricultural production. Over 80s-90s, the
growth of the general industrial
production was 1.8 per centper year, while
the growth of the population was 1.9 per
cent ayear. Nationalization,
centralization of everything in the
handsof the state, the application of the
principle of self-reliance,denial of any
kind of ownership to the peasant brought
aboutgradually the decline of the possible
sources of the economicdevelopment. The
market was so much disposed of items so
that atthe beginning of 80s the ratio
system was practiced on foodarticles. The
industry and other branches of the economy
wentinto a general crisis.

ALBANIA'S POPULATION
|
|
The Albanian population
belongs to a very young age. More than 40%
of the population, men and women, belong
to the 0-19 age-group, 50% of the
population belong to the group age of
20-64 and only 10% are more than 65 years
old.As compared with 1938, the population
is tripled and it amounts to 3,5 million
inhabitants. Until the end of 70ies the
index of the average growth of population
in a year was higher in males, about 3%,
while according to the latest registration
data in 1989, this index is higher in
females, about 2%. In 1989 we have a
population dispersion which graphically is
represented by a regular population
pyramid, in 1995 this pyramid changed in
males belonging to the age group of 20 to
30 years old.This fact is explained with
the emigration phenomenon, which achieved
its peak during the transitional period.
According to UNDP data 15% of Albania
population is actually living outside the
Albanian territory.
