Summary/Abstract: In the present conjecture, countries are faced with high unemployment rates and persistent unemployment. In this context, a series of measures and policies were passed as means of fighting off this particular severe situation.At European Union and Romania’s level there is a clear increasing trend of adopting active measures for increasing the employment degree on labour market. Yet, the increasing trend of unemployment in many countries results in a limited success of active measures. The unemployment increase contributes automatically to higher public expenditures for passive indemnities so that most of the active programmes in the area of labour force are discretionary in nature. In elaborating active measures for labour market, an important role is played by the identification and analysis of the determinant factors of employment.The present paper presents a brief analysis of the main factors that influence the employment and unemployment level on the Romanian labour market in a European context.
