IMPROVEMENT OF YOUTH INSERTION ON THE LABOUR MARKET THROUGH SOCIAL PROGRAMS DEVELOPED BY UNIVERSITIES AND THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

摘要

From an economic point of view, young people represent a very special category, as they are the future and their integration in society, in general, and on the labour market, in particular, should become a priority for every country. There are remarkable times we live in, unemployment among young people reaching an all-time high, as many of them struggle to find their first workplace. In Romania also, the youth unemployment is a key problem, as more than 23.60 percent of the Romanians with ages below 25 are unemployed. Our paper will try to address this problem, with interest in pointing out methods of reducing the gap between young people and employers, being aware of the fact that, on the one side, the employers should adapt their recruitment practices to have more success in hiring young petitioners and, on the other side, that young people should improve their professional insertion abilities in order to have success on a more competitive labour market that is unable to make concessions.
