Relevance of the study. The issue of the formation of human potential under the influence of current demographic processes in EU countries is considered. It is found that there is a relationship between the formation of human potential, human development and the features of the demographic development of the region. The subject of the research: is the study of the demographic features of the formation of human potential at the level of the countries of the region and the identification of typical groups according to these characteristics. The purpose of the study: to identify modern trends in the formation of the natural base of human potential in EU countries under conditions of social upheavals and post-industrial trends in development. Research methodology: the methods of analysis, synthesis, theoretical generalization, comparative characteristics, statistical (grouping, typology) and geographical – in the grouping of EU countries by life expectancy were used. The results of the study: the problems of increasing the life expectancy of the population and population aging, their impact on the formation of human potential in the countries analyzed, groups of EU countries by life expectancy were identified, differences in the sex structure of the aging population were determined, the projected dynamics of the population, fertility processes and median age were analyzed from the point of view of the aging population of the European region. Practical significance: results were obtained that indicate that the trend towards an increase in the average life expectancy of residents of EU countries is long-term and will continue in the future; there is a significant impact of the age structure of the population on the formation of the human potential of the region, as well as a complex interdependence between human development, economic development and the structure of human potential. Conclusions: the modern demographic features of the formation of human potential in EU countries and their forecast prospects were clarified. Prospects for further research: the challenges for socio-economic development caused by the demographic trends identified in the study require further in-depth research in order to develop ways to overcome them.
