Romania faces a shortage of skilled workers, with only 4% of low-skilled adults participating in training programs in 2024. Financial constraints and lack of opportunities hinder many from acquiring new skills, impacting their job prospects. Urban areas show higher participation rates compared to rural ones, and the demand for highly skilled workers is expected to rise significantly by 2035. Employers are divided between investing in employee training and immediate recruitment needs, often opting for foreign workers. Automation is changing job requirements, necessitating new skills even for manual roles. Proposed measures include financial support for vulnerable individuals and incentives for companies investing in training.
