abstract: 'Presented paper deals with the issues of regional development and

  regional disparities in Slovakia in the years 2001-2014. Levelling

  respectively increase of regional disparities was evaluated through a

  set of 13 socio-economic indicators (gross birth rate, average monthly

  wage, monthly labour costs per employee, employment rate, unemployment

  rate, net monthly income and expenses per capita, completed dwellings,

  creation of GDP, labour productivity per employee in industry and

  construction, number of organizations focused on generating profit and

  number of freelancers) which were used in the territorial units at the

  level of self-governing regions of the Slovak Republic (NUTS III level).

  In terms of the evaluation and comparison of regional disparities were

  used the Gini coefficient and the coefficient of variation for mutual

  comparison and validation of divergent or convergent tendencies of

  regional disparities in Slovakia.'
