Abstract: The present paper is the first part of an analysis that aims to clearly identify and assess the needs of the inclusive entrepreneurship target groups in Romania for 2014-2020, in order to encourage inclusive entrepreneurship and self-employment as local development strategic option. The specific objectives of the analysis are: 1. to analyze the national context in terms of employment and entrepreneurship for the period 2014-2020; 2. to identify the groups at risk and uncertainty compared to employment and entrepreneurship, disadvantaged on labour market or under-represented in entrepreneurship; 3. to assess the specific needs of identified groups in four small towns in Romania and if boosting inclusive entrepreneurship is a viable local development strategic option. As first part of this research, the present paper analyses the national and regional context regarding boosting inclusive entrepreneurship as a strategic option for 2014-2020. In the second part of the research, in order to investigate if boosting inclusive entrepreneurship is a viable strategic option of local development, we’ll analyse through comparison this option for 4 small towns in Romania: Slănic Moldova, Găeşti, Balş, Seini located in different development regions, respectively North-East, South, South-West Oltenia and North-West. The paper uses OECD/EC inclusive entrepreneurship framework and OECD research methodology. The analysis of needs is based on Eurostat and national statistics, EU strategic documents, national strategies, regional development strategies for 2014-2020.
