摘要：The secondary sector of the Romanian economy has in time suffered several modifications, the most important ones being linked to the political and legislative systems. The present paper, which analyses the secondary sector in the Romanian economy, relies on the following variables: the turnover, the employed population, net investments, as well as various indicators that illustrate the enterprises’ demographic picture. This paper is a spatial/geographical approach of the secondary sector in the national economy context; its subbranches, processes, social and economic actions, which influence its evolution in space, are entirely different. The space dimension of the variables analysed herein emphasizes the structural-quantitative changes which have occurred during the past few decades in the whole secondary sector and in each of the eight development regions. This approach proved useful in completing the more general economic analysis. The time-interval this analysis refers to is not the same for all the indicators chosen. However, the last two decades are fully covered by all the four variables taken into consideration.
