The Romanian village is facing demographic problems, an ageing population, low birth rates, and a lack of jobs that contribute to the depopulation of villages. The main purpose of the paper is the identification of socioeconomic problems, taking as a study the research of the commune of Tetoiu in Vâlcea County. The work is based on official data provided by the town hall of Tetoiu, as well as data provided by the National Statistical Institute, on the basis of which the following statistical indicators were calculated: standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and growth rate. The lack of qualified teachers and interest in education is a major problem in the rural environment, contributing to migration to other countries in order to secure a secure source of income and a decent living. Lack of information on access to European funds leads to a reduction in agricultural activities and a shift towards the urban environment. All these problems form a crisis of the Romanian village and lead to the fall of the villages.
