Abstract: Within the increased globalised world, labour market configuration is deeply influenced by demographic trends. Starting from the premise that the family, in all its complexity, continues to be a key element of current society, this paper analyses its evolution in post-communist Romania. Consequently, firstly the dynamic configuration of family is analysed from a demographic point of view, while the second part overviews key characteristics of the labour market mainly by places of residence, by age, and by gender. From a methodological point of view, the paper is based on the literature review alongside the secondary analysis of statistical data gathered at European level (Eurostat) as well as domestic one (National Institute of Statistics). The paper supports the development of appropriate sustainable social policies to support the development of families in the current context and challenges of the labour market.
