The Social Economy And The Legislative Environment. Case Study: Romania

Europe's social system has undergone profound changes in the last decade, changes that will cause global challenges and opportunities. An important challenge for the social economy is the transformation of the urban environment into an inclusive one, corresponding to a heterogeneous population that has to cope with an intense pace of change in the economy. Society faces new social problems and states do not have the capacity to adapt to the new challenges. It is therefore necessary to develop new social protection policies that would make a major contribution to reducing inequalities. A solution to citizens' expectations of economic and social issues can only emerge from a joint effort of all EU Member States and the decisions adopted to be implemented in a timely manner. Europe is the most eloquent example of the social problems encountered in all corners of the world, from the equal pay for women and men (stipulated in the Treaty of Rome -1957) to receive treatment in another Member State and the preservation of rights to retire from a job in another country. We can say that we are foreseeing a new world of labor given by technical progress and the growth of the service sector, which means changes in the field of professional training to meet the evolution of the needs of consumers. This may mean some new opportunities and for others an uncertain future.
