This paper will deal with poverty and socio-social inequalities in small towns. There is a considerable literature dealing with the phenomenon of poverty and its various expressions. Studies focusing on general aspects or on local realities are present, especially in Sociology and Economics. These two fields of scientific knowledge include a branch called 'sociology of poverty and economics of poverty', within which there is a broad debate, especially when dealing with its multiple expressions in the urban world.
