According to Eurostat, Romanian women find their first job at the age of 25 (compared to 23 in the EU) and Romanian men at 23, i.e. a year later than the average EU man.

Austrian women start a career at 20 (and men at 19), Croatian women at 26 (and they at 23), Danish women start a career at 19 (and men at 18), Greek women also at 25 (men at 24) show Eurostat data .

In all member states, women leave the parental home and marry earlier than men, Eurostat notes. We find differences in Romanian men who leave the parental home 3 years later than Europeans (Romanians leave at 30.3 years, while the European average is 27.4 years)

Indeed, Romanian women give birth to their first child at the age of 27, while the average European age is 29.5 years, but it is only a matter of time before we match this age with the EU.

Another significant difference between women and men is life expectancy. In EU member states, women live longer than men. The EU average was 82.8 years for women and 77.2 years for men, a difference of 5.6 years.

It should also be noted that in Romania more than 40% of women over 54 live alone, while men

the percentage is less than a quarter (less than a quarter of Romanians aged 65 and over live alone out of the total number of Romanians in the same age category), Eurostat data also show.
