Summary/Abstract: The 21st century is marked by historically unprecedented demographic transformations, which have the potential to reshape the world as it is known to us today. Within this context and in accordance with the concept of security spreading on other non-military areas, the present research started from the question “Do connections of the demographic transformations with security or insecurity exist?” and aimed to identify the nature of this connection and the typologies of demographic evolutions which can offer legitimacy to such connection. As a result, the paper proceeds from analyzing the professional literature to classifying some of the most important aspects of demographic changes with possible impact on security, in its endeavor to offer a structure to the relation between demography and security. There are no certainties regarding how the future world would look like, but the analysis of demographic trends represents a research field of great actuality and importance, which may come to practitioners’ aid by means of understanding the potential security implications.
