Protecting human resources should be the main priority of any government, says Cristina Chiriac, president of CONAF.

“Through the privatization process of large state-owned companies, over a million jobs have been lost over time. To these we add the social effects of the last period, over one million jobs in danger and a decline in the school population from the ’90s and so far of over 1,500,000 students and schoolchildren, according to INS data, and thus outlines a picture that highlights the social and economic vulnerabilities of Romania: labor migration, declining birth rate and poor correlation of the education system with the needs of the Romanian economy! As a result, there is an urgent need for urgent measures to close the gap: between generations, regions of the country, rural and urban areas and, last but not least, between academia and the professional community. We need to work together with all decision-makers on a medium-term strategy that includes the measures identified by the entrepreneurial environment through the Labor Pact conferences, so that together we can contribute to a viable economic environment for a high standard of living, a declining unemployment, well-paid jobs and, of course, a new fiscal policy adaptable to current economic realities. ”
