Summary/Abstract: In the recent years we can observe a growing interest in the problems of cohe-sion because of its crucial role in sustainable development. The objective of the study is to assess the economic convergence of regions in terms of synthetic measure. Due to the mul-tidimensional coherence character, the paper proposes a synthetic indicator of the income situation of households. The economic cohesion of provinces, due to the income situation of households, was assessed on the basis of the theory of gamma convergence. All calculations rely on individual sets of data derived from household budget surveys from the years 2000 to 2009.
