Economic resilience consists of the decisions taken by firms in order to face decreasing demand (during an economic crisis) while maintaining a functional economic structure so that they may then return to business as usual after the crisis has passed. In addition, it refers to how the population acts in order to stay in the labour market and maintain their standard of living. The educational structure must fit the needs of firms. This study relies on three datasets at the NUTS V level for the Central Development Region in Romania for the demographic, labour market and educational structure: the situation in 2008, the evolution of the three structures during the crisis period (2009–2011), and the evolution of the above-mentioned structures during the 2012–2019 post-crisis period. The migration of people with a domicile from urban areas to rural areas was associated with a decrease in the number of employees and the unemployed in urban areas (big and medium-sized cities) simultaneously with an increase in the unemployed population in rural areas. The unemployed moved their domiciles from urban areas to peri-urban areas, commuting to the cities. There were people who moved their residence from small cities to big and medium-sized ones. The post-crisis economic recovery was quick and the economic structure remained functional during the crisis.

经济弹性包括企业为应对需求下降（在经济危机期间）而做出的决定，同时维持正常运转的经济结构，以便在危机过去后恢复正常经营。此外，它还指人们如何行动以留在劳动力市场并维持其生活水平。教育结构必须适应企业的需求。本研究依赖于罗马尼亚中部发展区人口、劳动力市场和教育结构的 NUTS V 级别的三个数据集：2008 年的情况、危机时期（2009-2011 年）三种结构的演变以及2012-2019年危机后时期上述结构的演变。户籍人口从城市向农村迁移，导致城市（大中城市）就业人数和失业人数减少，同时农村失业人口增加。失业人员将住所从城市地区搬到城郊地区，通勤到城市。有人从小城市搬迁到大中城市。危机后经济复苏较快，危机期间经济结构保持正常运转。
