As for Romania, the overall female employment rate decreased by 453,500 units
(10.8%) in the reporting period. This trend affected all economic sectors but has been
particularly relevant for: mining and quarrying (40%); construction (36.6%); electricity
and gas (26.5%); manufacturing (24.5%); and education (27.1%). On the whole, male
employment was less affected than the female one; the male employment rate decreased
by 7.1%, with the most critical situation concerning the following sectors: agriculture and
forestry sector (34%); electricity and gas (27.1%); mining and quarrying (24.3%); and
healthcare and social services (22.1%). Female jobs have been seriously affected
particularly in male-dominated sectors: this trend caused a serious increase in gender
segregation.
Regarding childcare, 6% of children under three years were covered by formal childcare
services in 2013. The total coverage for children between three years and compulsory
school age was 51% in 2013, while the coverage of formal childcare services for children
from compulsory school age up to 12 years was 88% in 2013.
As for the GEI, Romania has always shown a poor performance in gender equality: the
score further decreased between 2005–2010 and 2010–2012 when the GEI score was 33.7.
As for the Sub-index Work, the Romanian score is closer to the EU average even though
the score dropped by 3.7 points in the reporting period (from 65.3 in 2005 to 61.6 in 2012).
The downward trend was more relevant between 2005 and 2010 mainly due to the
decrease in the gender segregation component of the Sub-index Work (-4.9 points).
