Abstract

: The aim of this paper is to identify the changes in the period 2002-2021 and current situation related to population ageing and basic functional contingents of the resident population in North Macedonia. Based on the analysis the main challenges in terms of demographic and socio-economic development on mid and long term are determined and areas in which appropriate policies should be developed. The analyses show that resident population has declined for about 12% and the demographic ageing was accelerated. It results with decrease of the number of children for 27%, young population (32%), working-age population for (12.4%) and female fertile population (21.4%), while the population aged 65+ increased for 47.5%. In circumstances of extremely unfavorable demographic situation, the country is facing three major challenges referring to the necessity to mitigate the decrease of the resident population and of the young working-age population, as well as the rapid growth and aging of the elderly population. Each of them is equally complex and requires great attention and comprehensive activities of the policy makers in the country. Indisputable interrelation of the policies in all these areas requires creation and of a comprehensive strategy for family that should include all relevant aspects related to promoting its position and sustainability.

北马其顿共和国人口老龄化的挑战-现状和前景

本文的目的是确定2002-2021年期间的变化以及与北马其顿人口老龄化和常住人口基本功能相关的现状。根据分析，确定了中期和长期人口和社会经济发展方面的主要挑战和应制定适当政策的领域。分析表明，常住人口下降了约12%，人口老龄化加速。其中，儿童人口减少27%，青年人口减少32%，劳动年龄人口减少12.4%，女性生育人口减少21.4%，65岁以上人口增加47.5%。在人口形势极其不利的情况下，我国面临着减缓常住人口和年轻劳动年龄人口减少和老年人口快速增长和老龄化的三大挑战。每一个都同样复杂，需要国家决策者的高度重视和全面的活动。所有这些领域的政策之间无可争辩的相互关系要求制定一项全面的家庭战略，其中应包括与促进家庭地位和可持续性有关的所有有关方面。

期刊介绍： Economic development—jobs, income, and community prosperity—is a continuing challenge to modern society. To meet this challenge, economic developers must use imagination and common sense, coupled with the tools of public and private finance, politics, planning, micro- and macroeconomics, engineering, and real estate. In short, the art of economic development must be supported by the science of research. And only one journal—Economic Development Quarterly: The Journal of American Economic Revitalization (EDQ)—effectively bridges the gap between academics, policy makers, and practitioners and links the various economic development communities.
