Analysis of the Number of European Union Citizens Working in the Regions of Slovakia in the Period 2013-2019

Abstract

The paper aims to analyse the regions of Slovakia based on the number of working citizens of the European Union. The contribution meth­od is used to find out in which region the number of working foreigners in­creased the most, and in which the least. Suslov´s coefficient of similarity of structures is used to analyse changes in the structure of the analysed indica­tor. From the results of the realized analysis we found out that the number of working foreigners in Slovakia increased the most in the year 2014 com­pared to 2013, by 63.40%. Bratislava Region (16.92%), Žilina Region (11.37%) and Prešov Region (9.63%) contributed the most to this increase, while Košice Region (0.91%) and Trenčín Region (1.07%) contributed the least. In the year 2019 compared to 2018 was recorded an increase of only 6.10%. Suslov’s co­efficient of similarity of structures acquires the value 0.0230, which means a high degree of similarity of structures of the number of working foreigners in the years 2013 and 2019.
