The process of demographic ageing has caught the whole world and so this trend does not miss Montenegro as well. However, the indicators of the demographic ageing express the definite regional differences. The rate of natural growth in Northern region has crossed from the high to the negative, and in the Central and Southern region has crossed from the middle to the low. The fall of the natural growth has been under the direct influence of the decrease of the fertility, and so the fall of the fertility and the inherited age structure has appeared as the main modifiers of the age pyramids of Montenegro in the observed period. The transformations in the age structure of all regions have developed in the direction of the population getting old, and in such a way the participation of the young in every census was less than in the previous one, while the participation of the middle-age and old persons in the total population of the regions has been much bigger. On the basis of the established stages of the demographic ageing, it is recognised that in the observed period the process of the demographic ageing in Montenegro has been intensified, and so in all regions has been developed slowly, but steady as well.

INDICATORS OF THE REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE AGEING POPULATION OF MONTENEGRO

INDICATORS OF THE REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE AGEING POPULATION OF MONTENEGRO M. Brajuskovica, D. Brajuskovicb, D. Mijanovica and V. Spalevica * a Faculty of Philosophy, Geography, University of Montenegro, Niksic, Montenegro b National Parks of Montenegro, Podgorica, Montenegro * Corresponding author email address: velibor.spalevic@ac.me Abstract. Montenegro is situated in southeastern Europe, in the Balkan Region. From a geographical point of view it is divided in three regions which share climatic, lithologic, hydrographic and vegetation characteristics: Northern - Northeastern, Central and Southern Coastal part. The demographic aging, as a global process, does not miss Montenegro as well. However, the indicators of the demographic aging express the definite regional differences. In the observed period (1971-2011) the number of inhabitants of Central and Southern Coastal region has been increased, while the number of inhabitants in the Northern region has been reduced. The rate of natural growth in the Northern region has changed from the high to the negative, and in the Central and Southern region has changed from the middle to the low. The fall of the natural growth has been under the direct influence of the decrease of the fertility, and so the fall of the fertility and the inherited age structure has appeared as the main modifiers of the age pyramids of Montenegro in the observed period. The transformations in the age structure of all regions have developed in the direction of the population getting old, and in such a way the participation of the young in every census was less than in the previous one, while the participation of the middle-age and old persons in the total population of the regions has been much bigger. The above mentioned changes in the old-age structure have had the influence on the increase of the average and medial age, and so they have caused the moving of the critical points of the coefficient and the age index. On the basis of the established stages of the demographic aging, it is recognized that in the observed period the process of the demographic aging in Montenegro has been intensified, and so in all regions has been developed slowly, but steady as well. Key words: natural movement, fertility, age structure, demographic aging.

... Despite its small size, Montenegro's elevations span from sea level to 2,535 meters, with a mean elevation of 1086 meters. However, agricultural neglect due to industrialization since the 1960s, coupled with rural exodus to urban areas, has impacted rural populations, reducing them to only 37.2% of the total population according to the 2011 census (Brajuskovic et al., 2018). The northern region is the most rural area, with around 60% of the population living in rural areas, the southern region with around 40% of the rural population, while the central region is with only 20% of the rural population (Mijanovic et al., 2017;Pejanovic et al., 2020). ...
