Sažetak
Reducing income inequality is an important development goal in every country since high inequality brings to social tensions and reduced effectivness og the economic system. The efficiency of measures taken to reduce inequality presupposes a thorough knowledge of its causes and the factors that most influence the degree of inequality in a particular country. That is why the autors of this paper tried to establish to what extent the salaies - as one of the key sources of income - influence the income inequalities in the Republic of Croatia. Using their own analytical approach, based on the comparison of salary values nad the standard of living in Croatian counties, the autors conclude that the salaries are not the key factor in income inequalities in the Republic of Croatia.
