Abstract
The social trends in the country reflected the demographic conditions in the
East region. The continued decline in fertility rate, together with the expected extended
life span and in collaboration with migration movements, conditioned reduction of
population and restructuring in the age structure. Based on a certain indicators that are
elaborated in this paper, it is evident that in a period of fifty years we have a disruption
in the balance between generation and emphasized passage of the population in the
region to a higher stage of demographic aging. The aging of the population requires and
directs activities related to economic and social activities, the use of resources and the
organization of space and is a direct prerequisite for sustainable socioeconomic and
spatial development.
