Analysis of the components of the social - economic development of the region (on the example of Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad region)
Demographic factors determine the size and composition of the population, which acts as the creator and consumer of material and spiritual wealth. With the natural decline in the region's population, migration is becoming an important factor in solving the problems of labor shortages. In economics and sociology, two main indicators of the degree of social development are used: the standard of living and the quality of life. The first indicator reflects the results of economic development, and the second - the complex level of society's achievements.
