Abstract
The Zaprešić area consists of the City of Zaprešić and the seven surrounding municipalities that make up its strongest gravity zone and until the 1990s they formed a single city municipality. These eight units of local self-government have for many years had a pronounced immigrant demographic component and a relatively stagnant natural change. Compared to the rest of Croatia, the demographic picture of this area is much more positive. The purpose of this paper is to see how much the population policies of the City and municipalities at the local level affect the demographic trends of the population over the past twenty years with an emphasis on the period from 2010 to 2020. The paper uses the interview method and the procedures of synthesis, analysis and interpretation of secondary data from the available literature. Finally, it is concluded that there is no confidential link between population policies and demographic trends in the area, and further research and development of the validation of population policy measures at local levels is needed.
