!!!Regionale Disparitäten

Regional Disparities, collective term for the inequalities between 
certain areas in a state. Regional disparities exist in matters of 
population, society and the economy and are used as criteria in the 
comparison of living conditions in the various areas. Political 
measures to reduce regional disparities are often part of  Regional 
Policy. Austria displays 3 basic patterns: disparities between the 
provincial capitals and Vienna on the one hand and the rural areas on 
the other (urban-rural disparities), between the eastern (Burgenland 
and Lower Austria) and the western provinces (Vorarlberg, Tirol and 
Salzburg; west-east disparities) and between the southern provinces 
(Carinthia and Styria) and those situated north of the Alps 
(south-north disparities).
