Sažetak
In the last two decades, the process of depopulation of Podravina villages has continued with a dis-concerting acceleration of the trend. The paper shows the main elements characterizing the quantitative and qualitative development and structure of the Podravina population. The relation among the trends is explained in the analysis of their significance for the economic and social life and development of the area. Firstly, the quantitative trend of the number of inhabitants was analysed in the period from 1948 until 2011 accompanied by the illustration of changes in the territorial distribution of the population. This is followed by a thorough analysis of the natural change in population, first of all, the birth rate, fertility rate and mortality rate. Data have been collected for all cities and districts in Podravina, as well as individually for all 38 parishes of the Komarnik Archdeaconry. The analysis of age and sex structure shows the intensive processes of ageing of the population. Educational and professional structure of the population, as well as unemployment trends were shown for every district. Based on these and other qualitative indicators, a typification of Podravina districts was performed according to their potential for future development. Finally, a projection of the number of inhabitants in Podravina by 2051 was provided. The analysis is supported by a large number of tables and graphs.
