In the socioeconomic development of each country, income rates constitute a measure of theeconomic situation. They are also the principle factor influencing social stratification. When discussing theincome of European households in a regional approach, one may analyze changes, regional developmentindicators, and the degree to which needs are satisfied. It is underlined in the relevant literature that thedifferences observed across macroeconomic and microeconomic indicators are reflected in the phenomenonof income inequality, and their levels are also differentiated by the biological type of households. In view ofthe above, this study analyzed the financial standing of households from the spatial standpoint (selectedEU countries) and considered the fractions of households isolated based on their biological composition inthe light of inequality indices: Gini, Atkinson, and Theil. Inequality rates were computed using the mediannet equivalized income. The material examined in this study consisted of secondary data collected andpublished in the Eurostat database.(original abstract)
