Abstract
Celem badania jest analiza wybranych wskaźników wymiaru społecznego pod kątem zrównoważonego rozwoju obszarów wiejskich w państwach UE w latach 2000-2012 i określenie ich głównych tendencji. W celu opisania tendencji i zmian zachodzących na obszarach wiejskich była przeprowadzona analiza czynnikowa. Do określenia wskaźnika syntetycznego (WS) rozwoju społecznego obszarów wiejskich w państwach członkowskich UE zostały wykorzystane trzy główne czynniki. Stwierdzono, że wiodącymi krajami UE pod względem rozwoju społecznego są: Luksemburg, Dania, Holandia, Belgia i Szwecja, a najsłabiej rozwinięte są kraje przyjęte do UE w trakcie dwóch ostatnich etapów jej rozszerzenia, czyli Chorwacja, Łotwa, Litwa, Polska i Rumunia. Główne przyczyny takiego zróżnicowania to problemy związane z jakością życia na wsi, m.in.: ubóstwo na terenach wiejskich, niskie dochody, uzależnienie od rolnictwa, depopulacja na wsi, słaba infrastruktura.

The purpose of research is to analyze selected social indicators of rural sustainable development in the EU Member States in 2000-2012, and to determine their main tendencies. To describe those tendencies and changes that took place in rural areas, the factor analysis has been implemented. Three main factors have been worked out to determine the synthetic index (SI) of social development of rural areas of the EU Member States. It enabled the authors to affirm that the leading EU countries in terms of social development are Luxemburg, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and Sweden, those among the least developed are the countries, which joined the EU after two last waves of its enlargement, namely Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania. The main reasons for such a differentiation are the quality of rural life related problems: rural poverty due to low incomes, great dependence on agriculture, depopulation, poor infrastructure etc. (original abstract)
