The data for 2010-2018 of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) were used as an information base to conduct the analysis. The research algorithm was presented by the following steps: application of the PEST analysis at the regional level, application of the SPACE analysis at the regional level, development of the authors’ methodology for integrating the results of SPACE and PEST analyses at the regional level. Based on the research results, an expert assessment was performed with respect to the aspects that reflected the region's potential, namely, social, economic, political, and technological. The use of methodology for integrating the results of SPACE and PEST analyses allowed combining and forming a track of the strategic state of the social and labor sphere of the Voronezh Region, reflecting the vector of its change.
