Cât costă viața decentă în România? Suma de care are nevoie lunar o familie cu doi copii pentru a trăi normal • Newsweek România

In Romania, a family with two children needs over 11,000 lei monthly for a decent living, covering food, bills, education, health, and leisure. This amount reflects the minimum consumption basket calculated by Friedrich Ebert Foundation and Syndex Romania. Sociologist Ciprian Iftimoaei highlights that a decent life includes not just basic needs but also social participation and financial reserves for unexpected expenses. Inflation significantly impacts purchasing power, making it crucial to reassess the minimum consumption basket regularly. Living costs vary by region, with urban areas generally being more expensive, while rural areas may offer fewer opportunities but also lower expenses.
