| Abstract [eng] |
An aging population is defined in the scientific literature as changes in the structural composition of age of the population, which lead to growth in the population of those who are 60 year old and above. Aging of population is a social and economic problem that needs to be understood and addressed. Aging of population has a significant impact on national economies as well as on individual regions of the country. The old age index has a significant impact on regional employment and unemployment levels and budgets revenue and expenses, among other economic indicators. It is worth stressing that in order to improve a community’s quality of life and reduce disparities between regions, it is necessary to continually assess the level of development and regional development opportunities. Evaluation of the regional socio-economic situation should be performed periodically, so that regional policy measures can be directed to the areas in the greatest need. |
