Promjene u dobnome sastavu stanovništva otoka Krka u razdoblju 1961. – 2011. godine
Changes in the Age Structure of the Island of Krk Population in the Period from 1961 to 2011

Summary/Abstract: In this paper an age structure analysis of the Island of Krk in the period from 1961 to 2011 has been conducted on three levels – island, units of local government and remoteness of settlements from the coast. Combining several statistical methods, the census data and vital statistic data have been analysed. The analysis traced the beginning of the demographic ageing process on the island of Krk, as well as in the Republic of Croatia, to the second half of the 20th century. That process has not linearly amplified, as some censuses have recorded the population rejuvenation, however, since 1991 there have been trends towards successive demographic ageing of population. Results of the analysis of most indicators at the unit of local government level have shown that in the period from 1961 to 2011 the spatial differentiation of demographic indicators occurred on the island of Krk. The newest census data show that the population ageing polarization between units of local government as well as the settlements remote from the coast has ceased to exist.
