Summary/Abstract: The levels of poverty indicators in Romania, but especially the ones regarding the rural space, analysed including the chronological perspective, denote substantive vulnerabilities and indicate a low national and local capacity of managing and overcoming this problem. We highlighted that poverty is more than a theoretical concept being in reality associated with a large variety of problems, like lack of: development, security, determination, trust, health, social inclusion etc., that tend to become its facets when this phenomenon has a persistent character. In this regard, we analysed the possible solutions for the problem of poverty considering (1) education and investment in its quality, and (2) entrepreneurial initiative, as principle vectors of breaking the vicious circle of rural poverty.
