Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are considered to be the heart of the economy. They generate added-value, create opportunities and more than anything, jobs. As Europe is emerging from an economic crisis, we would like to study what the trend is regarding the SMEs, which are the fields in which start-ups have been founded and whether the crisis has been an enabler for growth. Using statistical methods, we will investigate the status of SMEs in Romania in an EU context with a focus on their job generator function.
