Summary:From the perspective of human progress, the most important issue is economic growth. States thrive when significant economic growth performance is recorded. Economic growth is desirable in any country because it allows the population to consume more goods and services and at the same time contributes to ensuring a greater quantity of social goods and services, such as health, education, thus leading to the real improvement of living standards. of the population.

One of the most invoked and disputed arguments, which the theories of economic growth and development place on the basis of the recent models of policies, is the investments in the formation of human capital - a component part of national wealth. In this paper we focus on poverty reduction measures based on the Europe 2020 strategy. Combating poverty and social exclusion is one of the specific objectives of the EU and its Member States in the field of social policy. We will present the measures pursued by Romania to reduce poverty and the place that Romania occupies between the member states of the European Union regarding GDP per capita and poverty rate in 2018.
