Abstract

The focus of the contemporary world is on technological development and advances in artificial intelligence. However, another reality exists in the form of the rural environment, which constitutes a crucial aspect of the economy and is considered by some the backbone of the economy. The aim of this study is to conduct a thorough examination of the Romanian rural environment, with a particular emphasis on understanding the economic characteristics of its four macro-regions. The results of this research highlight and emphasize the significant differences between them through different criteria such as GDP, poverty rates, access to healthcare and education and agriculture production. The results showed major disparities between the rural environment of the 4 macro-regions.
