Abstract :
The paper is focused on evaluation of regions of the Czech Republic. The evaluation is based on selected structural measures of employment according to the Lisbon Strategy. We used multiple dimensional statistical methods with special attention to the employment rate in agriculture. The Lisbon Strategy is a key document of EU, which deals with the priorities and measures for stimulation of economic, social and ecological renewal of member states in the period of the years 2000–2010. There are more than 130 structural measures from the spheres of national development, employment rate, research and innovations, economic reforms, social coherence, and living environment. These measures are used for evaluation and quantification of the modernization process and improvement of the global competitiveness of the European economics. We propose methodological approaches suitable for the analysis of indicators of some structural measures. The proposal of correct methodology is highly complicated due to the miscellanea of the variables. The multiple dimensional statistical methods seem to be useful especially because of their ability of complex evaluation of variables and their mutual relations. The method of an average distance from a fictive goal enables us to make a sequential list of regions. We applied an index analysis for the changes in the number of persons employed in agriculture. Multidimensional statistical methods with regard to their complex assessment are the most appropriate methods for the analysis of the structural indicators
