KPMG: Romania might offer interesting recruitment opportunities to multinational companies

Romania might offer interesting recruitment opportunities to the multinational companies as the country will not face the same drop in the specialised workforce that will affect the Western countries from 2010, shows a survey conducted by KPMG International company.

The survey called The Convergence of Global Specialisations draws attention to the problems that the companies in the developed states are to face, as the Baby Boomers generation of those born immediately after World War Two will reach retirement. This will lead to a significant fall in the specialised labour since the birth rate, after the post-war demographic boom, dropped suddenly as a result of the social changes in the 1960s and of the improvement of contraceptive methods.

'From a demographic viewpoint, Romania is very different from the Western Europe countries. Here we didn't see the same rise in the birth rate after World War Two, because the end of the 1940s and the 1950s were a very difficult time for Romania, at a time of the Soviet occupation and the establishment of the totalitarian rule. Nevertheless, the birth rate grew significantly after 1966, when Nicolae Ceausescu banned abortion and the use of contraceptives and it stayed high until the 1980s. Furthermore, Romania in the 1960s did not suffer the same social changes as Western Europe did and, although the women's employment rate was high, the family structures remained conservative by 1989. As a result of such factors, Romania will not face the same reduction of the specialised labour that will affect the Western countries starting in about 2010. Therefore, Romania might offer interesting recruitment opportunities to multinational companies', said Madalina Racovitan, senior manager at the Tax Department and coordinator of the local International Executive Services Department.

According to KPMG, the demographic boom did not take place in many developing countries or it took place on a much smaller scale because such states either did not take part in World War Two or their post-war history was different. Moreover, the social changes in the 1960s did not have the same extent outside the developed world, so that many of these countries kept a large part of their traditional social structures and a high birth rate.
