Economic Studies journal, 2018, issue 6, 141-154

Abstract: The article analyzes the main demographic and migration processes in Bulgaria by districts and their impact on the formation of human resources and thus on the economic development of the country. The aim is to highlight current and future trends and specificities in intraregional plan for Bulgaria by districts. It is argued that these regional differences pose additional economic problems both for the country as a whole and on the territorial level. Demographic collapse not only reduces the workforce but also aggravates its age and professional structure, which limits its entrepreneurship and flexibility. Under these demographic conditions, it is difficult to achieve high labor productivity and an accelerated catching up development of the EU.
