Abstract

In order to determine the inequalities in human development by regions in Romania, the human development index adjusted to inequalities will be used. This index is used when there are inequalities in distribution for each value in part across the population and, especially, when there are inequalities between people. It is also based on a distribution-sensitive class of composite indices and is created after a model proposed by Foster et al. (2005), which was built on Atkinson’s family of inequality measures (1970). While the Human Development Index is based on country-level aggregates, such as national income accounts, the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index must rely on additional data sources to obtain distribution information. This article aims to highlight, on the one hand, the inequalities in human development that exist in Romania, and on the other hand the correlation between economic and human development in the eight regions. Therefore, the analysis will be divided into two parts. First, based on empirical data will be calculate the dimension of Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) then, using an econometric analysis, we will determine which is the correlation between human and economic development in each of the eight Romanian regions.
