Abstract: To improve the quality of life of the population living in rural regions, it is necessary to introduce digital technologies in all spheres of life, thereby providing greater opportunities for remote receipt of services. Today, due to the lack of Internet connectivity, rural regions are unattractive for living, the population prefers to live in cities. As a result, the older part of the population is concentrated in rural regions, which can lead to desertification of such regions in the future. This problem is relevant not only for Russia, but also for other countries, which is why so much attention is paid to the digitalization of rural regions at the state level. In view of this, the purpose of the study is to determine the factors that hinder the digital transformation of regions, and the measures that contribute to this process. The article focuses on the need for an integrated approach to the digitalization of rural regions, which consists in simultaneously creating a digital infrastructure, increasing the digital competence of the population and the availability of digital services.
