Labor Market Flexibility and Unemployment: New Empirical Evidence of Static and Dynamic Effects

Particularities of youth unemployment and the labour market in Romania
2016
Youth unemployment has become a priority for the European Union.

The conclusion is that Romania is adopting important measures for facilitating the employment of young people and decreasing unemployment, but the implemented measures and strategies have registered limited progress and more innovative solutions are needed.
