Abstract: Improving the effectiveness of social assistance policies, within the framework of income redistribution strategies, is important in modern capitalist society, especially in times of crisis. This study, starting from the asylum crisis in Romania, aims to analyze some factors that influence the efficiency of social assistance programs in order to identify directions of action for improving social policies. The author analyzed data from Sustainable Governance Indicators and Worldwide Governance Indicators using specific data mining methods. The conclusions of the quantitative analysis were used to identify possibilities to optimize social assistance in conditions of limited budgetary resources. Based on the direct link between the effectiveness of social assistance, the rule of law and innovation, the author proposes to strengthen the role of the family and primary safety nets. As a course of action, it is proposed to redesign the matchmaking market that meets the principles defined by Alvin Roth, including creating density and facilitating fast transactions specific to online matching portals that stimulate subsidiarity.
