Abstract: The pressures and sanctions that could have been imposed following Romania’s accession to the European Union after the year 2007 have led to a rapid reaction towards a coherent management of existing social challenges which took the form of a compelling social policy development and implementation, marking a transition from the quantitative approach, which was based on minimizing consequences, to a more qualitative viewpoint built on the idea of human investment. In this context, in terms of efficiency, measured as the result of the divergent dynamics of material deprivation rate compared to total social assistance expenditure, social assistance in Romania seems to attain its objectives, namely the gradual reduction of the number of persons at risk of poverty and social exclusion. However, given that from the European Commission's perspective, the efficiency of the social assistance system in our country is still lagging behind, the evaluation of the current conditions and long-term perspectives of social assistance practices in Romania calls for a more comprehensive assessment which could be attained using econometric and mathematical modeling
