The Application of Social Inequality Models on Selected Regions of the European Union

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Regional disparities - economic, social and territorial - among countries and especially regions is an important topic in the frame of the enlarged European Union. Not only the EU enlargement by the Central and Eastern European Countries, but also economic crisis hit all the EU Member States hard, the impact of crisis varied considerably. The low growth performance in the EU has increased concerns regarding an increasing wage dispersion, income inequality at large, and social exclusion in line with poverty. Inequality should be seen as a cornerstone of both sustainable and inclusive growth. Social inequality in the EU is a very real problem which hampers sustainable economic growth. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce evaluation of social development convergence and divergence trend among selected regions of the EU in the context of cohesion concept, resp. social cohesion. Concept of cohesion can be distinguished in several dimensions - economic, social and territorial. It also corresponds to dimensions of disparities. We can identify several approaches and methods of measurement and evaluation of disparities among states and regions at European level. The methods differ in structure of using indicators of disparities and ways of their processing. The aim of the chapter is to apply specific integrated approach in the form of weighted aggregated index of regional disparities in social dimension, and thus evaluate social inequalities in the case of selected EU regions. Chosen approach of regional disparities measurement based on selected multivariate mathematical and statistical methods lead to construction of three-layer model of weighted aggregate index of social disparities.
