Abstract

The article discusses the current problems of the territorial development of the rural settlement of the region. The authors considered the main approaches formed at the federal level to solve the problems of socio-economic development of the country and regions. The formation of strategic planning of economic development is the most important direction of the modern solution of socio-economic problems. The article analyzes the change of the place of the Volgograd region in the state territorial division of labour. The reason for the decreasing role of the region in the economic development of the country was largely due to insufficient consideration of demographic and territorial problems in rural areas. The authors analyzed the upcoming changes in the gender and age composition of the rural population, changes in the number of the rural population at the level of rural regions, rural settlements. They studied rural population density indicators by region. The authors compared the negative trends with territorial differences in the natural fertility of agricultural lands. The article presents the calculations of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients for these indicators. The emerging picture of the settlement of rural areas of the region requires state economic regulation to preserve the demographic potential on fertile agricultural lands.
