Findings:
In Q2 2024, Romania had an active population of 8.41 million people, with 7.9 million employed and 421,100 unemployed.
The employment rate for the 20-64 age group was 70%, and for the 15-64 age group, it was 64.4%.
Unemployment fell to 5%, a slight decrease from the previous quarter.
There were significant differences in employment between urban (70.8%) and rural areas (56.8%) and between men (72.4%) and women (56.3%).
Youth unemployment (15-24 years) remained high at 22.7%.
Key Takeaway:
Youth unemployment and regional and gender inequalities are the main challenges in Romania's labor market. Integrating young people and reducing gender and regional disparities are crucial for a more inclusive labor market.
Trend:
A slight increase in the employment rate compared to the previous quarter (+0.2%), but persistent unemployment among youth and in rural areas.
Gender and residential inequalities in employment remain a significant issue.

In the labor market context, consumers are motivated by job stability, financial security, and professional development opportunities.
