Abstract

It has been argued that finding ways to diversify employment opportunities in rural areas is a solution for increasing the living standards in these areas (Diaconeasa and Chirculescu, 2015), but the employability level of the rural population in Romania was not taken into consideration explicitly. The present paper has a two part structure, the first one delimits the employability concept and its determinants and also it exposes the relevance of the topic in the context of a free workforce market where someone's skills must be at a very high level level in order to ensure a high paid job. The second part of the paper follows evolution of the employability determinants in the Romanian rural area, on a five year period and setting a frame for the current situation. The purpose of the paper is to prove that the employability level of the Romanian rural population is low and that the current state of the determinants shows an impossibility of raising this level. In conclusion, the public investment in raising this indicator should be a priority in order to meet the objectives of Horizon 2020 Strategy (NSDS, 2008).
