Although Romania has not gone through a war recently, there is a clear lack of balance between men and women. The difference in percents is not so large, with 48.8% men and 51.3% women compared with 49.3% men and 50.7%women before 1989. However, in terms of numbers there is a significant unbalance. We refer to 1.084.050 men less than women. This number is bigger than Romanian loss of lives during the second world war .Their absence from home cannot be bought with dollars or euro. Sociologists showed that young people who grow up in families where father is missing have more chances to have discipline problems. They cannot do properly at school and remain behind and frequently are attracted into criminal activity. Families who live apart have more chances to get to divorce.
The article deals with problems that might appear in families where father is missing from house; it also presents numerically the difference between men and women and its significance.
