Abstract

Reporting to the year 2010, in the present paper we intend to determine the level of the social inequality in Romania. The research was based on a national representative sample. Instead to use directly the total earnings of a person we suggest analysing the ratio between the individual needs and the family income. We applied statistical tests and we used frequently the stochastic order to establish possible differences among different subgroups selected by the residence type, gender or by the age criterion. For every studied subgroup the average opinion reveals a general dissatisfaction state imposed by the reduced chance to have a decent level of life. More, we proved that the discontent degree increases regularly with the age of the individual. The most affected persons are the elderly and the people living in the rural area.
