The stimulation of new jobs emergence through selfemployment in Romanian rural area

The Romanian labor force market is dealing with an irregular transition period which could be translated through the lack of the labor force on the labor force market. An important factor for this negative increase is represented by the migration phenomenon. Furthermore, Romania is dealing with a lack of jobs on the labor market in the rural area. Nevertheless, 46% of the Romanian population is located in the rural area. In Romania, the revenue level per inhabitant is very low in this part of the country. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that the Romanian people shouldn’t try to immigrate to another European state, when it has all the support from the EU funding programmes to start new business and to create more and more new jobs on the labor force market in the rural area. The main research method used to prove the theory of this study is the quantitative research method, by gathering and comparing all the amount of data regarding the Romanian population in European context provided by Eurostat, The National Institute of Statistics and The Agency for Funding Rural Investments (http://www.apdrp.ro/). This study will present the measures taken on the national level to counteract the migration phenomenon in Romania. The study will also analyse the problem of the unemployment, in terms of retraining and professional reconversion of free movement of goods, persons and capital open with the accession of Romania to the EU's economic and social valences. Employment is one of the most important channels through which economic growth can be translated into poverty reduction and less income inequality (Perry et al.).
