This report analyzes the poverty trends and profile using the national absolute poverty line, which measures changes in the level of welfare and allows for a more straightforward interpretation of comparisons over time. Chapter 1 presents an overview of poverty dynamics using both relative and absolute measures of poverty, and explores the reasons for the observed difference in trends between the two measures. Chapter 2 investigates the relationship between economic growth, inequality and poverty in Romania during the period 1995 and 2006.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE MEASURE OF POVERTYABSOLUTE POVERTYABSOLUTE POVERTY LINEABSOLUTE TERMSAGRICULTURAL POLICIESAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYALLOCATION OF RESOURCESANTI-POVERTYAVERAGE LEVELBASIC NEEDSBUSINESS CYCLECAPACITY BUILDINGCHANGES IN POVERTYCOMBAT POVERTYCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION BASKETCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION PER CAPITACONSUMPTION POVERTYDECLINE IN POVERTYDECLINE IN POVERTY RATESDEPENDENT VARIABLEDETERMINANT OF POVERTYDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYDISSEMINATIONDROP IN POVERTYECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CONTRACTIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEEDUCATION LEVELELDERLYEMPLOYMENT IN AGRICULTUREEMPLOYMENT RAISEEMPLOYMENT STATUSEQUAL OPPORTUNITIESEQUAL OPPORTUNITYEXTERNAL MIGRATIONEXTREME POVERTYFARMERSFIGHT AGAINST POVERTYFOOD BASKETFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD ITEMSFOOD NECESSITIESFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD SERVICESFOOD SHAREFORMAL EDUCATIONGINI COEFFICIENTGINI INDEXGROWTH COMPONENTGROWTH RATEHIGH CONCENTRATIONHIGHER INCIDENCE OF POVERTYHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHOUSINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLITERACYIMPACT ON POVERTYINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME GAPINCOME GROUPSINCOME GROWTHINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME QUINTILEINCOMES INCREASEINEQUALITYINEQUALITY DYNAMICSINEQUALITY OF INCOMEINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINHERITANCEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSURANCEJOB OPPORTUNITIESLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLELEGAL STATUSLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSMACROECONOMIC INSTABILITYMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMARKET ECONOMIESMARKET ECONOMYMEAN GROWTHMEDIUM TERMMIGRATIONNATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY LINENATIONAL POVERTY RATENUMBER OF ADULTSNUMBER OF PEOPLEOLDER PERSONSPACE OF DECLINEPENSIONSPER CAPITA GROWTHPOLICY DOCUMENTSPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOORPOOR ADULTSPOOR CHILDRENPOOR HEALTHPOOR PEOPLEPOOR POPULATIONPOORER GROUPSPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION SHIFTPOPULATION SHIFTSPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY DATAPOVERTY DYNAMICSPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INDICATORPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY MAPPOVERTY MEASUREPOVERTY MEASUREMENTPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY POVERTYPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY PROFILESPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY RISKPOVERTY STATUSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRO-POORPROGRESSPUBLIC SPENDINGPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYRAPID GROWTHREDISTRIBUTIVE POLICIESREDUCING INEQUALITYREDUCING POVERTYREDUCTION IN POVERTYREFORM PROGRAMREGIONAL DISPARITIESREGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONRELATIVE IMPORTANCERELATIVE POSITIONRELATIVE PRICESREMITTANCESRESPECTRURALRURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL INCOMESRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POVERTYRURAL POVERTY RATESAFETY NETSCHOOLINGSECONDARY SCHOOLSELF-EMPLOYMENTSIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SPENDINGSTRUCTURAL REFORMSSUBSISTENCESUBSISTENCE FARMINGTARGETINGTOTAL POVERTYTREATYUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATESURBAN AREASURBAN POORURBAN POPULATIONURBAN POVERTYVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWELFARE INDICATORWELFARE LEVELWELFARE MEASUREYOUNG PEOPLEWorld Bank10.1596/7578
