Business Review: 1 in 5 young people in Romania is neither in employment nor in school

One out of five (21.4 percent) of young people in Romania aged between 20 and 34 years is neither in employment nor in education or training, one of the highest rates among the European Union member states, suggesting difficulties in the transition from the education system to the labour market despite widespread workforce crisis, according to Business-View.eu.

This situation is a major concern in terms of employment at the EU level as this segment of population is a particular category of economically inactive persons.

“The rate young people neither in employment nor in education or training in Romania signals difficulties in transitioning from the education system to the labour market and the problems connected to employment for the young population, outside the education system,” the National Institute of Statistics (INS) said in a recent study.

In Romania, 21.4 percent of youth aged 20-34 years were neither in employment, nor in education or training in 2017 and the rate is higher in the case of women.

The rate young people neither in employment nor in education or training shows wide variations between regions in Romania.
