Abstract
This paper investigates the strategic role of service sector diversification as an economic lever for mitigating interregional socioeconomic disparities. Regional development imbalances often stem from the excessive concentration of capital and human resources in metropolitan hubs, leaving peripheral territories economically vulnerable. Through comparative and structural-logical analysis, the study demonstrates that transitioning from basic, non-tradable services toward knowledge-intensive, digital, and localized producer services fosters decentralized economic growth. Key mechanisms examined include the expansion of business process outsourcing, modern agro-logistics networks, and regionally distributed specialized tourism. The findings emphasize that targeted fiscal incentives, digital infrastructure integration, and localized human capital development reduce regional dependency on central budget allocations, accelerate income convergence, and enhance overall territorial macroeconomic resilience.
