Summary of Findings

The spatial analysis demonstrates that demographic trends in the EU are highly regionalized. Population aging and migration do not happen evenly; they are heavily influenced by geographic proximity to economic centers, borders, and urbanized zones.

Broader Implications

Understanding these spatial dynamics is crucial for regional planning and targeted policy-making. Spatial autocorrelation proves that treating regions as independent data points ignores the spillover effects of neighboring regions.
