  abstract = {The public administration and a career in the public function do not occupy an important place in the professional orientation of the new generations. In this study I considered it appropriate, by using the idea of professionalization of public function, to present the situation of young people who are in the system and who want to develop careers in the field, the employment in a public office, the obstacles they are facing, although they have real qualities to contribute to consolidate and modernize the central and local public administration. Having as starting point the Strategy on civil service development 2016-2020 issued by the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Administration together with the National Agency of Civil Servants, its Report on civil service management and civil servants for 2018, which indicates a level of occupation of public positions by people under 30 years of only 3.72%, I set out to identify the factors that determine such a low level of interest of young people in the positions offered by the public administration by indicating some measures that can be taken by the managers of local public institutions in order to attract them to a career as a civil servant. Young people are not deprived of qualities, skills, only a longer life experience. By making optimal use of their qualities and skills, by lowering the average age of employees in the system, it will be possible to achieve performance standard that can compete with those specific to the private system.},
