Summary/Abstract: If the entire class of young NEETs would be integrated into work, Romania's GDP would increase by 2%. Faulty implementation of SOP HRD 2007-2013 failed to combat the economic crisis. Thus, at the end of 2013 Romania had over 400,000 young people NEET. In addition to short-term effect of inactivation of the potential workforce, due to aging demographics, the effects of the lack of activity of this category will create a series of negative problems in the social contributions sector. Romania is offered another chance by the Youth Guarantee Scheme and by the Human Capital Operational Programme 2014-2020, but the country must prove having learned from previous experience. The 2007-2013 period shown that good planning in terms of indicators far not guarantee success. Effective implementation of projects and supporting project beneficiaries will sustainable reduce the number of NEETs.
