Abstract

This paper proposes to analyze the poverty rate in the eight development regions of Romania (NUTS 2), in the period 2010-2019. To provide the most complex analysis possible, I examined the determinants of the poverty rate, and I concluded that the gross domestic product per capita and the gross value added of the ICT sector reduce the poverty rate, while the unemployment rates lead to poverty increases. However, at regional level, in general, the poverty rate decreased in 2019 compared to the 2010 levels.
