Abstract
The article examines the dynamics of population in the regions of Belarus, focusing on the influence of natural and migration population growth during the third demographic transition. The article provides a typology of the country’s regions based on some key factors determining the population dynamics. It is concluded that migration processes exert the most significant impact on the population dynamics of most regions in modern Belarus, signifying the occurrence of the third demographic transition in this country. Interestingly, internal migration processes are identified as the primary driver, rather than external factors. The study emphasizes the importance of examining the migration processes at the regional level for optimizing regional policy.
