Abstract

Economic depression of the end of the 3th decade (1929-1933) was a complex phenomenon, with repercussions in all sectors, particularly the economic one.

Land at confluence of the Somes Rivers cover, what was before the Great Union, Dabaca Solnoc County and after the administrative reform of Greater Romania, Somes County. We will review the situation of the population by class of occupations and economic position of women in the region.

We divided the fields, as follows: working the land, processing of raw materials,  trade and credit , transportation, public institutions, other. Whenever we refer to women aged over 13 years as they were reviewed in the 1930 Census.

The crisis has had an impact on the business environment in Dej less than among larger firms and especially to the small traders and craftsmen. And in some cases even amongst the individual offices.  A very telling statement on the purchasing power of Dej’s townsfolk’s is showed by the evolution in the number of lawyers

Changes arising from the crisis required a greater presence of women in the social and economic life and especially their asociations. The fight was to get as much protection as both employed and an entrepreneur.
