Abstract

The thematic section “Demographic Challenges and Economic Development” comprises a review of factors that shape economic growth and development viewed through the lens of human development. Economic and demographic factors are key elements for understanding and shaping the sustainable development in modern society. The interconnectedness of these factors is clearly reflected through economic indicators such as GDP per capital, which directly depends on the demographic characteristics of the population, such as its structure and dynamics. The population of a country is simultaneously a producer and consumer of goods and services, thus directly influencing economic activities and living conditions. Changes in the population, including aging, migration and changes in the composition of the workforce, have a significant impact on the economic performance, public spending and social systems. Demographic changes affect demand, the labor market, health care and pension systems, making them important research topics in the context of economic development
