Abstract

This article provides an overview of the dynamic situation development of the unemployment rate in Romania. While the industrial activity was focused in certain regions of the country, as example the case of the resources energy available in the most part, if these are minerals, other regions were characterized by the dominant position of the labor force in Romania, which is located in areas with low productivity, whereas in the education and training issue, the situation is worrying. Romania has a low rate of employment and knew the economic and social disparities. In this article, the labor force analysis was based on statistical, social and demographic concepts and approaches, as data source is reported the information provided by Eurostat and the National Statistics Institute. At alarming scale, through some complex dynamic structures that rapidly change rhythms and meanings especially, the unemployment has become a problem that is the subject of macroeconomics, arguing theoretical, methodological and political - ideological disputes. The Keynesian revolution treated the cyclical policies’ use against the aggregate demand in order to reduce unemployment. The simple message, that the unemployment rate may be reduced by stimulating the demand, is not accepted in its original form. Most policies on unemployment did not distinguish between the cyclical unemployment and the unemployment equilibrium.
