Impact of Demographic Processes on Regional Economic Development

Abstract

With this report will attempt to present the impact of demographic processes on socioeconomic development in the regions. Given that globalization processes cover, besides the economy and almost all major spheres of public activity, such as politics, ideology, culture, way of life, and the conditions for the existence of mankind. A basic prerequisite for the development of the processes of globalization is the information revolution, which simultaneously creates and provides the technical basis for the development of global information networks, the internationalization of capital, as well as enhancing the competitive struggle on the world markets. At the heart of the demographic behavior of humans as well as of all living beings is the general biological law of the struggle for survival and continuation of the genus, which also determines the major trends in the world. This fact determines the migration of labor resources at the international level as wages in developed countries exceeds what workers receive with the same qualifications in less developed countries. In the age of globalization, migration policy is increasingly spontaneous and increasingly systematic and diversified. We must not overlook the fact that migration affects national employment, the quality of human capital, labor productivity, income levels, and even the state of interethnic relations. And in this line of thought, the current modern migration policy should include not only the direct regulation of migratory flows, but also the definition and implementation of measures for their integration into national society, economy and culture.

Migration in all forms and forms is a powerful demographic factor and, among other demographic processes, is an essential determinant of the structure of the population in a particular territory.…”
