The point of departure of this dissertation is the observation that, over the entire period for which statistics are available, regional differences in income per capita in Canada have remained unchanged. Five commonly recognized regions of the country are considered: the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairie Provinces, and British Columbia. Official statistical series show that the relative levels of income per capita in the five regions have been about the same in recent years as in the late 1920's, when the series begins. In a world of continuous change there may be no single expected trend of regional income differentials, but convergence does seem to be a common pattern among the industrially advanced nations of the world.2 The Canadian experience is sufficiently interesting to call for further examination. The dissertation summarized here begins this examination in two ways: estimates of regional per capita income are made for some years prior to the beginning of the official series and a preliminary examination of some important factors influencing regional income differences is begun.

The aim of the research was to diagnose demographic changes that took place in the rural areas of the Wielkopolska province between 2005 and 2015. The study identified rural areas that were located within the boundaries of the Poznań Metropolitan Area and beyond this area. The research was based on data from the Central Statistical Office and the Statistical Office in Poznań. As a result of the conducted research, it was observed that demographic changes in the rural areas of Wielkopolska province such as population growth or changes in population structure by place of residence or economic age groups are largely caused by migration movements. In the analyzed period there was an influx of population into rural areas (positive migration balance), although in recent years a slight inhibition of this phenomenon has been observed. In addition, there was a slight increase in positive natural growth. More dynamic changes have been observed in rural areas within the Poznan Metropolitan Area. In the studied period, changes in the opposite direction were observed in cities, ie the decrease in the number of inhabitants and in birthrate, as well as the increase in emigration from cities (decrease of the negative migration balance).
