Abstract

The study is dedicated to analyzing the role of demographic processes in the evolution of regional development concepts. The article focuses on the most influential elements of regional development, one of which is the demographic process. The aim of the research is to identify modern theoretical approaches to economic-regional development involving demographic indicators to optimize regional policy in Ukraine. It is established that regional policy is developed under the influence of various theories that seek to legitimize the role of state intervention in national economic processes, the relationship between regions (communities) and the state, and the efficient use of productive forces. It is found that modern geographical science contains many alternative models of regional development (dynamic and spatial). The most common concepts of regional development include neoclassical, cumulative growth, regional growth, and the modern concept of regional clusters. It has been observed that concepts and approaches to regional development over time have evolved towards emphasizing the importance and utilization of human potential, experience, and knowledge as crucial elements of regional development, and research in this direction still requires further improvement and development.

The conclusions highlight the importance of regional development in the context of demographic processes amid economic crisis. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in their potential utilization for the formulation and implementation of state economic policy. The use of a comprehensive approach in the development of regional development concepts, taking into account all factors and regularities, which potentially contributes to strengthening the development potential of the territory, can have a positive impact on population development and addressing demographic and economic crisis issues. Further research is aimed at conceptualizing the target model of modern regional development.
