Abstract:
Given that the majority of the economic concepts of income distribution and growth ars mutually influenced, the author proposes the objective of analyzing the wellbeing of the population in Moldova. To achieve this goal, it is proposed a method of assessing welfare through the use of economic indicators, and namely: the sources and structure of household income, consumption and structure of the household, the level of unemployment in the country, the dynamics of the Gini indicator. These indicators are analyzed according to: sources of training and expense items, urban or rural area of residence of householders, their relationship to subsistence, the co-relation between average monthly income available per person and the average mini¬mum existence fora certain period, etc. The structure of household income and expenditure have been studied ne by quintile and decile groups. The research enabled the author to argue directly the proportional relation between household income and expenditure of the population of Moldova and the Gini indicator which shows the presence of social differences in income distribution in the Moldovan society.
