- Abstract
The present study starts with a study carried out in 2010, allowing today to update and analyse that, at EU level, has assisted in the last two decades a process of general economic and social transformation. Thanks to the measures put in place with the policy of economic and social cohesion, and then to the use of the Structural Funds, the differences in per capita income between the European Union countries have gradually reduced, but not sufficiently, so there remain significant socioeconomic gaps between regions in Europe. Furthermore, in order to establish whether and to what extent the policy of the Structural Funds has being able to achieve the goal of mitigating the inequalities national and/or regional per capita income over the last years, it was necessary to conduct an ad hoc study based on the data acquired by Eurostat, the results of which will only have a value orientation largely because - despite the attenuations of interregional differences in income per capita in the European Union - such attenuations are not due only to the transfer of resources, but also to other factors and circumstances.
