Abstract: The crisis has increased income inequality of the world populations, delaying economic recovery and, by default, the jobs creation at world level. Solving social problems, particularly those related to employment, innovation, education, social inclusion, seen from the perspective of the European Union, results in the five overarching objectives laid down in the Europe 2020 strategy. Member States have adopted their own national targets for each of these areas. To achieve those objectives, substantial efforts will be needed to be made in the coming years within all EU Member States, in a context of severe budgetary constraints caused by the recent economic and social developments. This paper provides an overview of the main indicators that characterise poverty and inequality of Romanian population with some regards at international context.
