Dinamics of Population Incomes in the Rural Area: Case Study

Abstract:

The income and consumption of the population  are determined by the general evolution of the national economy, these know effects of the  accession and  post-accession processes of the  country  to the European Union. In this respect, in the present  paper we proposed to study the evolution of the household, of  the agricultural and non-agricultural income, supposing that the agricultural income determined a favourable evolution, using the research methods documenting, analyzing and processing of data by the secondary analysis. In Romania in the analysed  period, the decrease of the purchasing power of available income, inflation, high  prices and tariffs for some goods and services led the households to reduce consumption to the bare minimum and to try to keep as much as possible the  prior levels of consumption choosing to save costs.
