Abstract:
The analysis of the quality of life has become an increasingly complex process through which a number of economic, political and social factors are examined in order to identify the necessary measures to be taken for the social inclusion of disadvantaged people, to reduce the poverty rate of the population and to increase the living conditions. Through a detailed analysis of the determinants of living standards, we identified the progress that Romania has made since 2007, the year of accession to European Union, until 2016, the year for which the latest open data sets are available. Thus, an important discrepancy it has been identified between the level of quality of life from the region that has obtained the highest score, the region which covers the Romanian capital has been excluded, and the one which has obtained the lowest score. With an income difference of 28% and with four times higher of foreign investments attracted in the Central Region against the North- Eastern Region, the identification and adoption of administrative politics become imperative for ensuring a unitary development of the eight Romanian regions of economic development.
