Abstract:
The distribution of employment by activities of the national economy shows that the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector has concentrated 28.6 percent of the total population employed in the economy in 2011, of which 6.3 percent were employees. In this respect Romania is well above the EU average, where the share of labour absorbed by the secondary (industry + construction) and tertiary (services) sector was 95.1 percent. The most recent data obtained from the Household Labour Force Survey reveal the continuation of economy restructuring, which impacts the structure of employed population and unemployment. In the next period, labour market stabilization is expected, in the conditions in which the number of people who got out of the unemployed category as a result of non-renewal of requests to be in the evidence of the NEA is low; an eventual reason for this situation could be these people’s inadequate training or their migration to foreign countries or to the informal economy.
