Abstract
Although the Baltic states, comprising Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, situated on the historical boundary of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe, are very similar from the viewpoint of regional identity and development as well as history and geographical characteristics, they exhibit regional disparities. This analysis focuses on monitoring a statistical set of ten selected representative economic and social indicators at the level of the NUTS 3 regions using deviations from the median and cluster method. Based on the analysis, the regions were categorized into groups that have shown the major disparities and differences between the capitals’ regions and the rest of the countries
Keywords: Baltic states, NUTS 3 regions, economic and social indicators, regional disparities

Abstract
The study provides a compact view of population ageing in the capitals of the Visegrad Group (V4). Thetransformation of the age structure of urban populations is quantified within the context of the V4 countries –Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. This assessment of the age structure transformation in the V4 capitals between 1980 and 2013 was carried out using Webb’s chart and hexagonal diagram methods. The evaluationof the demographic ageing of the urban populations brings substantial knowledge of the immanent differencesof the capitals. The similarities between Prague, Budapest and Warsaw and the specific development of Bratislava, was revealed.
Keywords: age structure, population ageing, capitals of the Visegrad Group countries
