Inequality - definition
• Inequality in opportunities Inequality in opportunities between between communes communes
• Deprivation in outcomes, Deprivation in outcomes, particularly in particularly in
health, education and consumption levelhealth, education and consumption level
Objectives
I. Identify major sources of inequality in the Romanian rural area
II. The theoretical model aggregating the rural inequality indicators was constructed on the basis of
those aspects of inequality with the greatest mutual driving force and permits the evaluation of the socio-economic inequality level that the population in a given area is facing.
III. Typology of the Romanian rural area by rural inequality level
Methodology
• Diagnosis analyses of the Romanian rural areaDiagnosis analyses of the Romanian rural area –
-identification of a set of socio-economic dimensions describing the condition and extent of rural
inequality
• FactorialFactorial analysesanalyses
- identify major sources of inequality in the Romanian rural area
• Cluster Cluster methodmethod- The hierarchy of rural communities by the socio-
economic inequality level reveals the areas that are most vulnerable to the inequality risk
I. I. Identify major sources of inequality in the Rural Romania Identify major sources of inequality in the Rural Romania (1)(1)
MATRIX OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC INEQUALITY CRITERIA MATRIX OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC INEQUALITY CRITERIA
Criterion 1: TERRITORY EQUIPMENT – provides information on the on-dwelling comfort; rural technical infrastructure as support to rural development – to business environment included.
Criterion 2: DEMO-SOCIAL DIMENSION – provides information on the local demographic perspectives, on the disintegration of family values, living attractiveness of the zone and the socio-economic opportunities that the respective area is presumed to provide, etc.
Criterion 3: SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE – provides information on the educational and health infrastructure and them adequacy for the community needs; potential access to ICT, etc.
Criterion 4: ECONOMIC DIMENSION – provides information on paid job access opportunities and the rural population’s dependence on the social transfers and agriculture, agricultural land operation intensification, development of economic activities complementary to agriculture, the abilities to promote rural services complementary to agriculture, etc.
Criterion 5: INVESTMENTS – reveals the projection on the future development potential of the rural community, etc.
On the basis of the diagnosis analyses by regions, a set of five criteria has been selected describing and conditioning the rural inequality level in Romania.
I. I. Identify major sources of inequality in the rural Romania (2)Identify major sources of inequality in the rural Romania (2)
Each criterion is associated to a number of indicators that describe the inequality level, calculated at the level of commune, on the basis of available statistical data from the NIS local database 2008

According to the cumulated intensity of the manifestation of
the factors that describe the socio-economic inequalities :
Community profile of rural inequality in Romania
rural communities characterized by a lower rural socio-economic inequality level
(cluster I – 20.5% of communes)
rural communities characterized by a medium rural socio-economic inequality level
(cluster II – 40.7% of communes)
rural communities characterized by a higher rural socio-economic inequality level
(cluster III– 38.8% of communes).

Conclusions
• The hierarchy of the main inequality sources in Romania’s rural area led to the conclusion that the element that mostly conditions the socio-economic inequality in rural Romania is those regarding the demographic disequilibriademographic disequilibria (demo-social (demo-social dimension)dimension). .
• This is followed, as source of socio-economic inequality:
- Territory equipmentTerritory equipment- Economic development of the area Economic development of the area providing job opportunitiesproviding job opportunities - Social infrastructureSocial infrastructure- Investments Investments
Conclusions
• The rural communities characterized by a MEDIUM and LOW level of rural socio-economic inequality (Cluster II and I):
→ from the point of view of territorial distribution are mainly found in the mountain and plateau area;
→ these communes have a wide range of resources that provide them occupational opportunities.
Conclusions
The rural communities that cumulate the most economic and social vulnerability sources (cluster III) are:
• Grouped into relatively compact areas,
• These are, in general, communes located in the plain areas, whose local economies highly depend on agriculture,
• Providing relatively few opportunities for ascending occupational mobility as the nearest areas are also less attractive to investors .
Urgent corrective interventions are needed in these rural areas in order to remove the sources of social inequalities as there is the risk of an increase in the negative social and economic
effects translated into the absence of available resources and access to resources that should sustain an acceptable human
development for the 21st century.
