Summary/Abstract: General demographic characteristic of Timočka Krajina (the Timok District) in the 20th century is the process of depopulation, reduction of the natural growth of the population, low fertility rate, that is change in the reproduction and structure of the population with the pronounced migration processes. Fast development of economy and industrialization led to the increase in employment which surpasses the growth of labour and caused migration of the population from agricultural to nonagricultural activity. However, migration of the rural population to towns was decreasing last years because of depopulation processes in the rural environments, so migrations were directed to economically more deceloped countries and great urban centres of Serbia.
