Summary/Abstract: The theoretical and empirical aspects of the research into Slovakia’s illegal economy were based on secondary analysis and two pieces of representative research. The main outcomes of the research inform us that the problems within the current Slovak economic system occur as result of the processes of corruption, and that the shadow economy is one of the main barriers to the socio-economic development of Slovakia. To solve these problems it is necessary to implement more effective economic legislation that includes social measures and ethical principles.
