Το διακύβευμα βιωσιμότητας της Περιφέρειας Δυτικής Μακεδονίας στα πλαίσια των πρόσφατων περιφερειακών, δημογραφικών και οικονομικών, εξελίξεων στην Ελλάδα.

Abstract

The present study focuses on the Region of Western Macedonia, presenting its critical demographic, social and economic characteristics, its position in comparison with the rest of Greece and the interpretation of its declining course over time, considering the fluctuations of macroeconomic variables. Furthermore, the factors that affect the development target of the Region are analysed, while the total added value of the production sectors in the regional economy is estimated, and finally, development issues that require special attention and contribute to the development prospects of the Region of Western Macedonia are mentioned. Although the future of the Region of Western Macedonia looks bleak, it is nevertheless necessary to make significant collective efforts so that the difficult situation facing the Region can be transformed into an opportunity for the launch of new social and economic activities, with the main aim of maintaining population capacity. The redefinition of a redesigned production model is a production function that requires vision, responsibility and cooperation between all the variables involved.
