Abstract

Romania is a country where during the communism, more precisely until 1989, the equality between men and women was promoted. The first research questions is „How is the level of unemployment in Romania for men and women?” For answering to this question, we used data between 2009 and 2022 extracted from Eurostat. The second question is: „How is the level of employment in Romania for men and women?” For answering to this question, we analyzed the sustainability reports of 6 important companies from the medical field: Antibiotice Iasi, Biofarm, Farmacia Remedia, MedLife, Regina Maria and Zentiva. From the sustainability reports of all the entities analyzed we found that 70% are women and 30% of the employees are men. This research may help to enhance sustainability reporting by focusing on gender distribution.
