Abstract: This study aims to assess the quantitative and, above all, the qualitative potential of the agricultural labour force in Romania. In the first part of this paper, analyses will be carried out on the agricultural labour force to identify the potential of countries that attach particular importance to the subject studied and the inter-relationships between them, where agriculture is a major employer. In the second part of the paper, an empirical analysis of labour force statistics will be carried out to assess its potential, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Finally, we want to determine the influence of certain population characteristics on the qualitative potential of the labour force. The bibliometric analysis provides a historical, contextual and evolutionary perspective on previous research and problematic factors in the field, linking the “agricultural labour force” to other issues such as climate change, economic growth, sustainability, education and income. It provides a comprehensive framework and links between the various elements influencing the agricultural sector, strengthening the understanding of the interconnections between labour force and other key variables in the sector.
