The study identified key determinants of local demography related to the age structure, population growth and net migration rate, for selected communes located in the vicinity of the A2 motorway junctions between Łódź and Poznań. It also examined whether the changes in the local demographic structure may be following the development of investments. As a result, it was found that the demographic situation of communes varies depending on the type of municipality, size of settlements, location with respect to the motorway junction, location relative to major cities, as well as the development policy pursued by the local authorities.
