Abstract

This paper deals with the number, density and distribution of the population in the statistical regions of the Republic of North Macedonia, comparing them with each other. Special attention in this study is paid to the analysis of the process of changes in the number and density of the population during the years 2008, 2013 and 2019. Numerous geographical and demographic changes in the regions have directly or indirectly affected the emergence of demographic problems. Therefore, by this paper we aim to highlight the changes in the population of the regions and the factors that lead to these changes. Some of the methods used in this paper are the descriptive method, analytical, the comparative and statistical, graphic and cartographic method, having in mind the official data of the State Statistical Office for Population of the Republic of North Macedonia. The dynamics of total movement of population in the Republic of North Macedonia is different in each of the regions, the region with the largest increase in the total population is the Skopje Region, which from 2008-2019 has increased for 35359 inhabitants (about 1.4%), while the Pelagonia Region has the most significant decrease for 7822 inhabitants (0.5%). Also, the density differs between the regions, where as a region with the highest population density is the Skopje Region with 348.3 inhabitants/km2, while with the lowest density is the Vardar Region, with 37.5 inhabitants/km2. Population is one of the main factors affecting socio-economic development. Due to the differences of the population in the regions, there is a breakdown of the socio-economic balance. For this reason, we think that we should intervene in creating the relevant preconditions, which will enable territorial, homogeneous and socio-economic development in all geographical, political and regional areas.
