The paper focuses on the disparity of individual European Union countries. Inequality indicators in the evaluation of the population living in EU countries have a significant impact on the comprehensive assessment of regions. Factor analyses were used for a comprehensive evaluation of the indicators. The article used two different approaches to determine the order of the Member States with an emphasis on economic and environmental data. In the first case, authors used procedure for establishing a mathematical model using linear combination of input variables and the factorial loads for the variable. This variable explains the most variance of original variables. In the second procedure the authors used the value of the number of the newly created variables and in turn reflected the values of all four newly created variables. The most prominent improvement was achieved by Malta. It has been evaluated by both the methods (method A: score 6-1 and the method B: score 21-10). Both methods agree on Bulgaria being on the last place ranking in both years of observation (method A: 27-27, method B: 27-27). Authors applied an index analysis for the changes of the number of persons employed in agriculture sector. Authors used statistical software STATISTICA 9.2.
