Characteristics of the Youth Employment – Romania 2000 – 2020 Data

Abstract

For this paper the statistical data has been analyzed, data of the employment rate recorded for Romania, time period 2000 – 2020. The employment rate characteristics have been explored to observe the course by Romanian region and women’s employment rate. The gap between men’s and women’s employment rate has deepened from year 2000 to 2020. Youth’s employment rate was observed correlated with the NEETs rate and young people discouraged to search of a job. Youth living in rural areas, 15- 34 years old, have a higher tendency to be discouraged to become employed. The recommendation is to implement more partnership programs between schools, local authorities and enterprises for the youth living in the rural area to increase the participation of young people in the labour market, to reduce urban and rural areas’ gap and bring well-being to the individual and to the community.
