In this article is presented the evolution of the middle class in Romania, for the last three decades. Middle class is a layer of the social structure which is situated between the base and the top.

The analysis is refering, in principal, to the active population; two indicators are used to define: an education of at least high school level and nonmanual ocupations.

Keywords: middle class; ocupation; education; social structure.
