Health In Romania, the

life expectancy at birth is 73 years for both sexes, females have a higher life expectancy average rate with 77 years, whereas men can expect an average of 70 years. Thus, men and women have a higher life expectancy compared to the global average of 66 years for men and 71 years for women.

Prevalence of HIV occurs at only 1 case per 1000 adults aged from 15-49 years, which is far below the average of 8 cases globally.

The prevalence of tuberculosis is also lower with 168 cases per 100000 population, than the global average with 201 cases.

Tobacco smoking shows a moderate contrast between the genders; 45,5% of 15+ years old men are regular smokers, but only 24,1% of women smoke regularly.

Not such a large contrast however throughout the percentages of obesity; 16,3% of the male adult 20+ population and 19,0% of females are considered to suffer from obesity

Political Empowerment and Participation

Only 11.2 % of Parliamentary seats are held by women, while few women have been served in the cabinet in the past

In the upper chamber, the Senate, the percentage of women elected to office stayed in the single digits, albeit it increased from 1% in 1990 to 9% in 2004, and then decreased again to 6% in 2008.

Political Empowerment and Participation

Starting with the year 2000, women appointed to head a ministry were typically in charge of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of the Family and Social Protection, or the Ministry of Youth, all ministries corresponding to professional categories traditionally associated with women.

Two women also headed the Ministry of Justice and the Ministries of Tourism and the Environment.

Gender Equality Legislation

In 1997, the Romanian Parliament decided to create a sub-committee for the equality of opportunity for men and women. It was reactivated in the year 2000 Since 2004 the sub-committee has been headed by a woman: Cristina Pocora

The subcommittee, along with members of regional and national non-governmental organizations helped draft the “Law for Equality of Opportunity among Men and Women”, Law 202, which was passed in 2002. This document outlawed gender-based discrimination and incriminated domestic violence and it emphasized equal access to education, health services, cultural activities, as well as the principle of equal pay for equal work.

Gender pay gap

Women are significantly underrepresented in economic decision-making positions in Romania as well as in the EU

Only 10.0% of board positions in large companies are occupied by women (EU-27: 14.0%). Moreover, this value has been declining significantly from 21.0% to 10.0% since 2010, contrary to the EU-trend.

In 2010 the average female employee in Romania earned 12.5% less than the average male employee, which is a smaller gap than the overall EU-27 average of 16.4%. However, in comparison to the year 2006 (-7.8%), the gender pay gap increased substantially by 5.7 pp. This negative trend is contrary to the EU-wide tendencies of reducing the gender pay gap.

Qualification level and choice of education

Secondary school (secondary education) attainment of Romanian women has risen from 61.0% in 2002 to 67.8% in 2011In comparison to Romanian men in 2011, women still attain less secondary education (67.8% vs. 73.4%), but the rates show a positive development, since this gap has decreased over time.

In 2011, 13.4% of Romanian women attained tertiary education. Compared to the year 2002 (7.5%), this represents an increase of 5.9 pp. Also, the difference between the male and female rate (0.8 pp) represents one of the smallest gaps between the genders in tertiary education in the whole EU-27 group in 2011

Romanian women are strongly engaged in the typically-male fields of study such as "Science, math and computing" and "Engineering, manufacturing and construction". For these fields, Romania obtains the highest values among the whole EU-27 (52.8% and 30.4%). This reflects the education strategy of the centralized, planned system, before 1990, which relied to a large extend on the industrial sector.

Institutional framework for gender issues

The institutional framework for promoting equal opportunities functions mainly at the national level and is based on permanent cooperation between:•the National Council for Combating Discrimination set up by Government DecisionNo. 1194/2001, under the aegis of the government;•MMSSF, through its Department for Equal Opportunities for Men and Women;the Inter-Ministerial Consultative Commission in the field of equal opportunities for men and women (established in 1999 to promote the gender dimension in employment strategies);•the Economic and Social Council through one of its specialized commissions, theCommission for Equal Opportunities for Men and Women. In this body, social partners debate legislative proposals and draft laws that address gender issues;•the Parliamentary Commission for EU Integration, through its special Subcommission for Equal Opportunities;•the social partners; and non-governmental organizations.
