Abstract

This paper aims at providing a radiography on rural poverty in Romania in the context of achieving the EU strategic objectives in terms of social inclusion and sustainable development. In Romania, 9.1 millions of inhabitants (46%) of the country’s population are living in the rural area, where almost three quarters of the country's poor population is found. About 38.8% of the total population was at risk of poverty or social exclusion in Romania in the year 2016, Romania being surpassed only by Bulgaria, with 40.4%, while the EU-28 average stood at 23.5%. Poverty in rural areas is mainly due to the low agricultural productivity and low employment opportunities in other non-agricultural sectors. Rural area development and alleviation of the high poverty level in the countryside can be achieved through stimulating and supporting programs of rural social economy and human capital development.
