Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes the evolution of income inequality, focusing on its causes and effects, with a comparative perspective between Romania and the EU-27. Using data from Eurostat, OECD, and national statistics, the research identifies key drivers of income disparity, including economic growth, employment structure, fiscal policies, and social transfers. The paper explores the implications of income inequality on economic stability, social cohesion, and sustainable development. By contrasting Romania's performance with EU-27 averages, the study highlights differences in policy effectiveness and provides recommendations for reducing inequality through targeted fiscal and social measures.
