Summary/Abstract: The importance of studying population structures and their changes is reflected to the possibility of performing qualitative and quantitative analysis of the achieved population development of Raška municipality. Statistical analyzes were performed in two census years (1961 and 2002). This analyzes show that the negative demographic trends are expressed primarily through the constant decline in the rate of population growth and fertility on the one hand and the growth index and the coefficients of aging on the other hand. Such demographic situation in Raška municipality is particularly pronounced in the last decade of the 20th and the first decade of the 21st century. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate positive demographic trends with appropriate population policy measures, in order to mitigate negative tendencies present in certain population structures of the municipality of Raška.
