Abstract

Given the strategic importance of higher education (Europe 2020 Strategy) and agro-food industry (Common Agricultural Policy) for achieving increased competitiveness of EU economy, economic growth, social welfare and sustainable development in EU member states, the present paper aims at analyzing the evolution and present state of public higher education (funding, students, graduates) in close connection with labour market evolution, in the Romanian agro-food sector. In order to examine the trends in public higher education and labour market in the agro-food sector we used data on public funding of higher education, students, graduates and employment. The research conducted led to the idea that higher education plays a key role in preparing educated and trained workforce involved in the Romanian agro-food sector which will finally lead to increase employment of higher –educated young people in the same economic sector. The paper also offers some conclusions on the way in which the evolution of higher education system affects the labour market in the Romanian agro-food sector.
