Abstract
Over time, economic and social inequalities at the global level have evolved in the sense of continuously widening income gaps between rich and poor. Of all the continents, the European one has proven to be the most egalitarian, although even in Europe there are relatively large gaps between income levels between different states. One of the countries in which the Gini coefficient has evolved to quite high values compared to the European average is Romania. Through this paper we aim to create a synthetic presentation of the picture of these developments, with particular emphasis on the last 2-3years. The data used are coming from IMF, WB, Eurostat, NIS Bucharest and other reliable sources.
Keywords: incomes, Gini coefficient, rich and poor, social policy
