| Summary: | The regional structure research on national level in post-communist countries is even after twenty years being very topical. A number of facts contribute to this, as for example continuing deepening of regional disparities, or the effort to create an effective regional policy on various government levels. This paper notes lagging regions of Slovakia, while placing one main objective: to identify the lagging regions of Slovakia, based on the previous assessment of development of two main indicators, the unemployment rate and the economy performance.
