【 摘 要 】

Our research paper is part of the larger-scale study regarding the readiness assessment of Romaniaand other five Central and Eastern European countries (CEE-6) for accession to the Eurozone in terms of thereal convergence. We extended the analysis of the real economic convergence to the area of social convergence. The purpose of the extended analysis is to compare the living standards in Romania, CEE-6 andother European Union member states (EU-28) and to draw conclusions on the social convergence as acomplement to real economic convergence. Using an analytical tool, the Social Progress Index 2018, atdifferent levels of disaggregation, the work reveals the dynamics of social progress and also the gaps betweenRomania, CEE-6 and the EU, while identifying strengths, and weaknesses to achieve social progress on theroad to real convergence with the EU. The outcomes could provide valuable inputs to the decision-makershighlighting some milestones to remove weaknesses and to turn threats into opportunities in the future socialand economic policies of Romania.
