The contribution deals with comparison of rural and urban areas in Slovakia according to the OECD methodology. Pursuant to the mentioned defining it classifies rural and urban regions according to selected social and economic characteristics. It draws attention to the higher educational potential in urban regions compared to country side and to space asymmetry in population dividing according to the reached education level. The high intensity of residential migration concerning population living in smaller rural communities is not sufficiently compensated by natural rise in population. The low employment in rural are as results from the deficient economic infrastructure and low business density in rural areas and partly also from migratory rigidity of rural population. In general terms, an employee working in rural area receives approximately two thirds of the average wage of an employee working in urban area. The contribution also identifies a lag of rural regions in terms of business structures density, but on the other side it calls attention to high potential of the business development in rural regions.
