Abstract

Using official statistics, the paper aims to contribute to regional development studies in Romania from perspective of labour market challenges and limits and the increasing number of elderly people participating in economic activity.

Regional level is considered for analysing the social productivity of labour in terms of GDP and employment. The employment is analysed from the perspective of share and structure of elderly people on the labour market. In this respect, activity rates, ageing index and economic dependency ratio are reviewed. In order to shape the determinants of employment of elderly people, poverty measures at NUTS 2 level are figured out.
