Abstract
The Reduction of Economic Dualism of Mazowieckie Voivodeship in 2007-2015
Using Regional Operation Programme for the Mazowieckie Voivodeship 2007-2013.The
existence of social and economic dualism is widely discussed in numerous regions of Poland
and Europe. This results from the natural structure of a region, which usually consists of one
or two growth centres and peripheral areas. It leads to the emergence of inequalities, which
cause a political pressure to redistribute income in order to ensure sustainable development.
This discussion is particularly important in the Mazovian Voivodeship. Thus, the purpose of
this study is to develop the existing findings concerning the social and economic dualism of the
region. The main aim specified in the Voivodeship Development Strategy is to eliminate spatial
inequalities. This paper is an attempt to broaden the knowledge on reducing the dualism in the
voivodeship resulting from the implementation of the Regional Operational Programme for
the Mazovian Voivodeship 2007-2013, which was one of the most crucial development tools.
The analysis was conducted in terms of territory, sectors and the labour market.
