Abstract: This paper is part of an applied, broad, based popular empirical procedures (such as natural observation) scientific research. The positivist research methodology used was based on consensual-inductive system (Locke), which is why we studied different specialists’ opinions on the use of EU funds for the elderly in Romania or employer contributions to voluntary private funds, necessary to formulate the problem of generating relevant information. The used research strategies were the comparative and longitudinal ones, as we analyzed the time evolution in time of the number of pensioners and employees in Romania, in the main time with the EU funding for the elderly, to determine Romania's concrete economic alternatives to support this category of populations. Causality assumptions about the relationship efficient use of EU funds-beneficiaries was inductively built in this paper (by analyzing the European funds management issue in Romania), causally (by cause and effect explanation of the studied phenomenon), deductively, logically and subjectively (on the basis of existence and perpetuation of fund premise conflict between strategic absorption of European funds and regional development). The qualitative approach of the phenomenon studied was made by collecting information (using the mediate data collection technique) has allowed relevant findings and practical solutions necessary for all those involved in this concerted action for the elderly, which affects us all.
