The present study is provoked by the idea of revealing the influence of the factors of both the internal environment of wine-producing enterprise and the factors of the external macro environment. The subject of study are the factors influencing the activity of wine producers located in the North Central, South Central and Southeast planning regions. The object of study are the economic entities on the market that produce and offer wine from the subsector “Wine Production” in three geographical regions of Bulgaria - North Central, South Central and Southeast. The aim of the research is, as a result of theoretical and practical research, to establish the influence of various factors, grouped in a certain way, on the development of wine production in the North Central, South Central and Southeast regions. The study attempted to combine the two approaches and as a result of the information, a cluster analysis was performed to classify enterprises on the basis of five selected objective indicators - net working capital, income / expense ratio, turnover ratio of non-current assets, turnover ratio, current assets and rate of return on sales revenue. As a result, a difference in geographical location was reported only for enterprises in the South-East region. The factor analysis was conducted on the basis of the subjective perceptions of the respondents about the economic condition of their enterprise and the factors belonging to the macro environment. As a result, recommendations are made for improving the business environment and the relationships among the individual contractors at the appropriate level - company, region, country.

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.

An attempt has been made to argue the thesis that in the conditions of an unfolding system of social payments and coordinated institutional interaction within the framework of social protection, there is a need to rethink the social philosophy of disability benefits provided by the statutory pension insurance. The study of opportunities for development of the organizational framework of public pensions for labour activity in case of disability, in the context of the systemic nature of social payments in Bulgaria, is also the main aim of the research, in the connection with which the following specific tasks are set: study of the theoretical and methodological aspects of social security and social protection systems in modern society; study of the practical and applied aspects of social security and social protection systems in modern society; study of the specifics of disability protection in the context of risk differentiation of social protection systems; study of the national identity and the social insurance profile of the disability protection in Bulgaria and assessment of the need and opportunities for development of the organizational framework of payments from the statutory pension insurance for disability in Bulgaria. The results of the research enable to outline guidelines for optimizing the organizational framework of payments from the statutory pension insurance for disability in Bulgaria with the potential to increase the level of pensions within the available resources.
