Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present a model interregional comparison of risk of poverty and material deprivation and results of the analysis of the Czech regions carried out with its use. The model includes four parameters: the robustness of material deprivation, proximity to the border of income poverty, poor literacy, and long-term unemployment. The model is designed as a relative and hierarchical. The model combines an aggregate look at the issue with a deeper analysis of the causes of the regional situation. The results indicate the position of the regions to the state of the whole society and attend to trends. The results at the two lower levels of the hierarchical model, which are useful in the implementation of regional policy instruments, are presented partially.
