THE EVOLUTION OF THE LABOUR MARKET IN ROMANIA’S WEST REGION
Keywords:
active population, employed population, unemployment, activity rate, employment rateAbstract
In the past years, the population of the West Region has experienced a decline,
under the mixed influence of the different level of the natural growth, domestic
migration flows and intense external migration. The demographic and economic
effects of the reduced young population will be felt in time and will lead to changes
in subpopulations (school population, fertile age population, employable
population). The effects of the demographic aging process upon the development of
the economic and social life have been felt after 2005, when the generations born
after 1990 joined the employable population. The transition to the market economy
has had a strong impact on the characteristics of the labour market, causing
significant changes in the size and structure of the main labour force indicators
(activity rate, employment rate, unemployment rate).
