Le déclin démographique bulgare. Bilan d’une décennie de transition post-socialiste

The paper draws up the demographical situation in Bulgaria during the post-socialist transition according to the last census (1992 and 2001). We emphasize on the demographical collapse and its main reasons. We take into account three contexts: the demographical context in the Balkan countries where Bulgaria appears aside, the socio-economical issues and their consequences during the transition period, the integration of the country in European Union in 2007
