Diversity and Inclusion of Neurodiversity in the Romanian Labor Market: Between Myth and Reality
SustainAbility School #108
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are organizational frameworks that promote fair treatment and full participation for all individuals, particularly for groups that have been underrepresented or subjected to discrimination based on identity or disability. Neurodiversity is an invisible disability that only began to gain social acceptance internationally in the 1990s.
In Romania, the concept of neurodiversity has been discussed for less than a decade, and conversations about its integration into the labor market are almost nonexistent. DEI management in the labor market is also in its early stages at the national level in nearly all aspects. DEI practices are typically adopted from HR departments of well-known companies, while DEI policies are adapted to Romanian legislation, culture, and local mentalities based on inconsistent criteria.
