Nowadays, the implemented regional policy is invariably related to adopting a certain concept and setting specific goals to limit the economic, social and demographic differences in the country. The present paper is a theoretical and applied study. The theoretical problems are related to the demographic, social and economic processes as objects of statistical study of the NUTS 2 regions of North and South Bulgaria for the period 2004-2018. The applied aspect of the study is a thorough analysis of the economic, social and demographic situation of North and South Bulgaria. The purpose of this study is to theoretically justify and empirically estimate the regularities in the demographic, social and economic situation of North and South Bulgaria and to identify the regional differences and inequalities based on a statistical analysis of the dynamics, structure and their factor determination. To achieve this goal, the following main tasks are performed: characterizing the nature and theoretical concepts of inequality; presenting the methodology of the statistical survey of the regional differences between North and South Bulgaria; identifying the regularities in the demographic, social and economic development of North and South Bulgaria; classifying the areas according to their geographical location using discriminant analysis. The research thesis advocated by the authors and confirmed by the results is that improving the functional and spatial connectivity between the regions in North and South Bulgaria will lead to reducing the economic, social and demographic differences and inequalities between them.
