Summary/Abstract: Poverty is nowadays on everyone’s mind: from the ordinary man who stands its direct consequences to policy-makers, decision-makers, public and private institu-tions, non-governmental organizations. And yet, the phenomenon grows deeper and more complex. Poverty should be a temporary state, generated by a wide range of factors which prove ill-fated at one point in time, however this state tends to become permanent and, for some, it is a life style. For the following analysis, I ap¬plied the positive economics method which entails describing, stating and observ¬ing poverty, and as research methodology, I used induction-deduction and quanti¬ta¬tive analysis, on the basis of national statistical data. I have analyzed the individual and collective involvement of social economy and social protection in improving the living standards of those below the poverty line.
