The ethnic and religious minorities

In general the ethnic group is defined as a group with common cultural traditions who has the sentiment of identity as a subgroup in the global society .
The members of the ethnic group are different from others by their different culture, language, religion, costumes, clothes and behaviours.
Essential is the the identity feeling and their self perception of being different from other members of the society. Some sociologists consider the ethnical feelings like an extension of the relative feelings.
The ethnic minorities have always represented a significant percent in the Romanian population.In 1930 when the population was 18000000 and only
73% romanians. After 60 years the minorities represented 12% with 18 ethnies all of them with representatives in the Parliament.
In Romania all these minorities had liberties and rights, except from the Rroms and the Jewish people in the 40`th.
The minorities from Romania are represented by the Rroms, Hungarians, Italians, Turks, Russians..etc.
In the Hatzeg county from a population of 9776 inhabitants 500-600 are Hungarians in all the Hateg, 133 Italians in the localities: Clopotiva, Rau de Mori si Santamarie Orlea and 400 Rroms in Ciopea, Barasti, Santamarie Orlea and Subcetate who are making spoons and sweeps.
Like Eugenio Di Gaspero-the president of the Italian community, says the Italians came here a 100 years ago attracted by the wood from this region.
The Hungarians and the Italians considered Romania the land where their ancestors are. A big number of them are working abroad and they made a communion named symbolic „The Italians emigrants family „Bellumo-Udine”from Santamaria Orlea which is now in Hateg.
These minorities were very well integrated in the region the only difference is their religion, the romano-catholic religion.
They also have schools in Hungarian language.
The other minorities are the religious minorities : romano-catholics, baptists, penticostals, adventist for the 7 th day.
After 1989 the number of the religion minorities grew and they also received money from the budget in 2005 .
The minorities from the Hatzeg county are very well tolerated .

Unemployment

Nowadays unemployment is one of the most troublesome phenomena affecting the economies of states.
Unemployment can be characterized as a negative state of the economy, due to which the active unemployed population cannot be secured a place of work during a certain stage of the economic development.
The “International Work Office” defines the unemployed as the persons over the age of 15, who satisfy the following requirements cumulatively:
- the capacity to work;
- the lack of an employment;
- the willingness to work in exchange for a remuneration;
- the search for a place of work.
The Romanian Law no. 1/1991 republished and modified, presently the Law 86/1992 qualifies as unemployed the persons who have the capacity to work, but cannot be employed due to the lack of available jobs suitable to their training and, though the law makes no reference to their age, it is construed to apply to persons over the age of 16.
52% of the unemployed persons come into contact with their friends, relatives, colleagues, or trade unions in order to find a place of work, while some other choose to come into direct contact with the employers ( 45% ). Direct contact is preferred by many of the persons looking for a place of work, so that the labour offices or the job advertisments only come as a second choice.
The structure of unemployment enables the identification of the fields which raise economic problems. The monthly unemployment is a helpful guide in understanding economic evolution.
In Romania, studies of unemployment began to be made in February 1991. At the end of March, the total number of unemployed people recorded in Romania in the registers of territorial labour agencies was of 536.807. A number of 217.265 recorded unemployed persons were compensated, whereas 320.452 were not. The number of unemployed men still remains high, representing 60% of the total number of recorded unemployed persons, and this proves that men are more affected by unemployment after the reorganization of the Romanian economy.
The highest unemployment rate of 10,9% was recorded in Hunedoara county. This high percent of unemployed people derives from the fact that some areas, such as Brad or Valea-Jiului, were mining areas, while Calan, Hateg and Hunedoara areas were subject to massive industrial reorganization.
In the Hateg area, almost a quarter of the 9,770 people living there is unemployed. The unemployment here is due to the massive reorganization of the canned goods and beer factories, of the Romanian railways, as well as to the closing of Calan works and the IAS. The 8 hydro-electric stations and the tourism which begins to develop can offer new places of work to the unemployed population. There are also attempts to bring foreign investments in this area in order to increase the number of the places of work.
From the perspective of the areas examined, in March 2005, the number of unemployed people between the age of 18-62 represented 3,08% in the urban areas and 5,24% in the rural ones. Due to the low offer of employments in the rural areas, the number of unemployed people between the age of 18-62 is much higher than their number in the urban areas.
The organization of the recorded unemployed people into age cathegories or in accordance with the duration of unemployment proves that the greatest number of unemployed people can be found in the cathegory of people between the age of 30-39 and 40-49.
One of the active measures consistently applied in order to increase the breaks in the integration of young people into the labour market is that of stimulating the employers by state subsidies, with a view to the occupation of the labour market. Thus, on March, 31, 2005, economic agents were granted subsidies for a number of 24.346 employed graduates (20.222 in the private sector and 4.124 in the public sector), organized as follows:
- 11.108 graduates,
- 5.378 highschool leavers,
- 1.433 people who have acquired education after leaving school,
- 5.090 people of vocational education,
- 1.322 people of complementary education and apprentices
- 15 people who have acquired special education.
In what concerns subsidized places of work, the greatest number of employees is represented by the university graduates (45,6%), followed by the school leavers (22,1%), the people of vocational education (20,9%). This proves once again the importance of the level of instruction in finding a place of work.
Unemployment is a negative economic phenomenon with implications on the psychological level as well. In Romania (thus, including Hateg area), unemployment arouse in 1989 with the passage from a centralised economy type to a mixed type.
