Sažetak
The population is the bearer of economic development because it represents the demographic framework for the formation of the productive (work)force initiating and directing all activities in the area. The demographic and socio-economic development of Croatia is causally connected and interrelated. All the changes and aberrations in demographic development (population trends, natural trends, population distribution, migrations and demographic structures) affect the dynamics and direction of the socio-economic development. At the same time, changes of intensity and structural characteristics of economic development will for the most part determine further tendencies in the population's development, ultimately in the development of demographic structures. Since the workforce (active population) is formed out of the work-capable population contingent and is thus, among other, under the direct influence of tendencies in the development of the age-gender structure, the analysis and study of the causes and consequences of the demographic ageing of Croatian population has become an important prerequisite for the evaluation of demographic potentials in the current and future economic development of Croatia.
