WHAT SHAPES YOUTH ATTITUDES TOWARD THE JOB MARKET? ROMANIAN MENTALITIES AND REALITIES

Summary/Abstract: In Romania, the relationship between younger generations and the labour market is shaped by multiple factors, including economic, social, and cultural ones. Compared to past generations, today’s youth have access to more opportunities but also face challenges distinct from those of their predecessors. Their approach to employment reflects not only individual aspirations but also the influence of mentalities shaped by the country’s recent history and the demands of a globalized and globalizing capitalist economy. Caught between different economic realities, inheriting a deficient education system, and adopting cultural models from abroad, young people strive to find jobs that meet their needs—needs that only partially align with employers’ demands. In our paper, we will examine several key aspects of the complex relationship between young people and the labour market, as reflected in articles and publications from the fields of human resources and business.
