Also, 23 pct of the Romanians (compared to 20 pct the EU average) believe that such measures should target the issue of the small number of women who hold positions of responsibility in professional life and one in five Romanians (versus 16 pct the EU average) believe that measures need to be taken to address the low level of female political representation.
A proportion of 30 pct of Romanians (compared with 33 pct in the EU) consider that decisions on gender equality are for the government to take, 57 pct of the Romanian respondents believe that these decisions should be jointly taken at EU level (compared to an EU average of 61 pct) and 13 pct of the Romanians (compared with an average of 6 pct in the EU) said they do not know to answer this question.
The report found however that 56 pct of the Romanians (as to a EU average of 64 pct) believe progress was made in the past ten years as regards EU efforts to combat gender inequality, 17 pct of Romanians (compared to a EU average of 23 pct) believe that no such progress was made, and 27 pct (compared with 13 pct on average in the EU) do not know the answer to this question.
