abstract: 'Article describes income disparities in various regions and various

  social groups in Slovakia. The goal of such analysis is to fulfill the

  targets of social poky with limited budget, not only during the crisis.

  Data used for the analysis are individual data from administrative

  sources. They cover whole population of Slovakia. However number of

  explanatory variables is lower, which limits some of the methods.

  Various social groups are studied. They are mainly working population,

  retired population and unemployed/inactive people, including

  intersections among these groups. The income is understood as net

  income, either from employment or from social benefits.

  The income disparities were quantified by several measurments. They

  included Gini coefficient which described inequality of the income

  distribution. Later, pyramids of income distribution were studied. These

  showed objective development of income through time.

  Using individual data it is possible to identify income disparities and

  stratification on the level of regions and districts. This allows to put

  into practice effective social policy..'
