Gender Perspective in the National Reform Programme for Employment

This paper explores the recent changes in Romanian employment policy, with particular regard to the situation of women. During 2008, we observed some changes in Romania employment policy, but no clearly visible gender equality. It was immeadiately noticeable that many produced changes in different social domains were not oriented explicitly towards increasing equal opportunities between men and women. The economic crisis, doubled by the financial and social crisis, has brought many additional threats to women in Romanian society.
