TI - Interregional diversity as a challenge of regional policies in Lithuania and Poland
AB - The purpose of the article is to present social, economic and territorial differences in the regions of Lithuania and Poland. Additionally, the paper includes an outline of the regional policy adopted in the countries being studied. The analysis was mainly based on statistical data published by the statistical institutes of the two countries (Central Statistical Office [Poland] and Lithuanian Department of Statistics) and studies of the Polish Ministry of Regional Development. The regions both in Poland and in Lithuania are not coherent in many aspects such as social (due to different conditions of life, employment opportunities, different level of remuneration, migration trends, etc.), economic (in terms of inequality of GDP produced per inhabitant, ability to absorb foreign capital) and territorial (differences in access to road infrastructure). Each country is making efforts to create a regional policy framework that would result in reducing these differences and thus, would increase the coherence of the whole country.
