Abstract
The operation of companies in the conditions of depopulation processes is a phenomenon that we will encounter more and more often, and it is a phenomenon that will cause more and more problems for economic systems. Negative demographic trends are a process that has been going on in our area for almost a century. It is a process whose consequences in terms of business are already being felt, and will be even more pronounced in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for the same from the position of economic and economic entities. From an economic point of view, it is necessary to become aware of the consequences of negative demographic trends as soon as possible and to prepare adequate economic responses to this problem. Depopulation processes will be reflected in the segments of production and services, transport, fiscal and social policy (economic effects on social policy), monetary policy and will lead to a reduction in the volume of overall economic activity. This is a wrong approach if we think that EU membership and belonging to the single economic space of the EU will fully absorb the negative effects on the national economy because although the EU is a single economic space, negative effects on the national economy will not be avoided. Only if we determine in time the phenomena that occur in this process, we will be able to prepare well for the potential crisis situation that lies ahead.
