Abstract

Population is the main factor of diverse and dynamic changes in space. From the earliest periods the human factor is a direct user of natural resources at the level of socio-economic development in time-space. As everywhere in the world, here too, the population in this region plays a key role and is the key factor for the growth and development of the country. However, the population is changeable and growth depending on various factors such as natural, economic, social and technological. Demographic development is expressed through indicators of the components of natural movement: birth rate, death rate, etc. Population is one of the main factors influencing socio-economic development. While the population is both productive on the one hand and consuming and material goods on the other, production and consumption depends on population size and density. In the framework of this study, we have been focused on the analysis of the demographic characteristics of the Upper Polog. When we emphasize the term "population", we are dealing with the problems of the population of a certain area, where in this case we have taken a regional space for study. But the question arises, what are the problems that a population may have? Exactly these problems are related to the impact of the population on the environment where they live and work, on the social and economic development of the country and not only personal problems that the population has. Some of these issues are: total population, natural movement (birth rate, death rate, natural increase), mechanical movement (migration, emigration and immigration), age structure, gender structure, educational structure, etc. In this study, we will emphasize exactly these issues, where the purpose of this study is the analysis of demographic components, with special focus on the natural movement of the population, where respectively we will inspect and examine birth rate, death rate, natural increase and vital population index of this region, also during the four different years starting from 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2019. The data are obtained from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Northern Macedonia for the natural increase of the population of the municipalities, which we have presented in tabular, graphic and cartographic form.
