Popis:	The fundamental question examined by this paper is whether the size distribution of income in depressed areas is a factor of sufficient significance to warrant explicit concern in regional development policy. In the past, estimates of regional inequalities have explicitly focused upon differences in per capita income and unemployment rates, and regions, however large, have been viewed as homogeneous units with respect to these welfare measures. While these indicators of economic welfare reduce a complex array of factors to several proxy variables, insufficient treatment of supplementary welfare measures is an unfortunate possibility.
