Romania needs some programmes (with labour, social, economic, health care aspects) to deal with the demographic changes, programs that will reform the existing working life structures and legislation. Despite the actual pension reform, which tries to close the opportunity of early retirement (by penalizing the total pension flows, or increasing the retirement age, etc.), the labour system does not sets some important targets for this area.
