Socio-Economic Analysis of Romania After Joining the European Union

Abstract

Romania is a rich country with high development potential, but little exploited. At the beginning of the 2000s, Romania was in the pre-accession period, at that time approximately 90% of the country's areas were in the countryside, but after joining the EU, attempts were made to reduce the gaps in the country by improving the social and economic infrastructure. The article seeks to present the evolution of the country by accessing European funds, briefly presenting the increase in the quality of life in the countryside, by analysing the social and economic indicators that determined the development of the region. Carrying out a social analysis of the country's population based on the data provided by the INS, it was found that in the last three years the population of Romania is continuously decreasing, the natural increase being negative, the number of deceased persons exceeding the number of new live births.
