Differentiation of Demographic Processes in the Regions of the Polish - Czech Borderland and their Socio-Economic Implications

subject

description

Global and irreversible, in many parts of the world, character of demographic transformations in the form of population decline, as well as progressive ageing process, have contributed to the fact that more attention is now directed towards the demographic determinants of socioeconomic development. The changes in the numbers and structures of the population not only require re-modelling of economies and regions but, above all, generating completely new social tasks that would lead to a more intense relationship between the demographic growth, both economic and social, as well as the need for actions to harmonize them. This article aims at showing the nature of the population transformations taking place in the Polish-Czech borderland regions within the NUTS III, and their social and economic implications. Despite the spatial differences in the intensity of changes, the same transformations direction provides the grounds for closer cooperation of the territorial units of different levels and, in particular, demographically similar in the scope of solving social and economic issues.
