INTERREGIONAL DISPARITIES IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Journal Title: VADYBA - Year 2016, Vol 29, Issue 2
Abstract
Economic and social standard of any country depends on the performance of its regions. Disparities among regions are a natural phenomenon. They, however, should not exceed a certain level in order not to bring about problems in areas. There are regional disparities in both the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic. The purpose of the paper is to examine and assess interregional disparities in the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic in selected indicators in 2000 and 2014. Regional disparities are assessed on NUTS2 level. In order to examine regional disparities, economic performance indicators (gross domestic product per capita), indicators related to the situation in the labour market (employment rate, unemployment rate, long-term unemployment rate), education-related indicators (upper-secondary and post-secondary education, tertiary education), health-related indicators (life expectancy at birth, fertility rate and infant mortality rate) were selected. In the paper, the methods of analysis, comparison, synthesis as well as a standardized variable method were utilized. The research findings indicate that the best performing regions in both the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic are those around capital cities. Pronounced disparities having been discovered between the Slovak and Czech regions were those related to GDP per capita and tertiary education indicators. The paper was written under the VEGA project No. 1/0233/16 “Dimensions and factors of social and economic development of regions in Visegrad Four countries”.
