Summary/Abstract: Global inequalities between countries are large, wage inequalities between developed and developing countries are on the rise (Report of the European Commission, 2011). Attainable wages in Europe are approximately thirty times as high as the average in African countries. Income concentration, increase of economic inequalities are not just unfair but unbearable, too. The article will account for the objective status of economic inequalities within the European Union in the NUTS 2 regions. From an economics standpoint it can be proven, that migration between countries is currently a highly significant method of reducing the income differences.
