摘要：The aim of this study is to identify the relationship of the level of income security in the 28 EU member states and Norway with income inequalities and social transfers. The analysis of different relationships of Gini coefficients, i.e. Gini ex ante, Gini ex post and Gini net with GDP per capita has been provided using descriptive statistics methods and Pearson linear correlation coefficient. This study confirms the thesis that the income security strongly depends on income distribution and social transfers as well as on the level of GDP per capita. These are important factors of differentiating the level of income security across the European countries.
