| Summary: | The paper deals with the analysis of the public administration‟s performance in social
policy and health care implementation. In order to realise it, the analysis takes into consideration four
specific indicators: the impact of the social transfers on poverty reduction, general government
expenditure by function, aggregate replacement ratio for pensions, children aged less than 3 years in
formal childcare, self-reported unmet need for medical care and out-of-pocket expenditure on
healthcare. The analysis in the paper is structured on two levels: a comparative analysis between the
Member States and a regression analysis in order to point out the disparities. A special part of the
paper is dedicated to the social policy in Romania. The analysis is supported by the latest official
statistical data and pertinent diagrams. Moreover, dedicated software was used in order to compute
statistical data and to obtain pertinent results. The main conclusions of the paper are connected to the
huge differences between the EU average goals in social and health care policies and the reality from
each Member States. On the other hand, Romania faces to great challenges related to social policy
and public administration support for improving the situation of its citizens.
