THE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF NATURAL POPULATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMUNITY OF NIS

Important parameters of natural development have been shown and analyzed in this work about the community of Nis in the period of 1978 to 1999. It has been noticed that the birthrate has been below 16 live born on 1000 inhabitants (16 promille) since 1980 which does not enable stable rate of reproduction. During 1999. the birthrate was 9.3 promille. The mortality rate grew progressively from 1978 (7.2) and it was 11.4 in 1999 which is a consequence of the presence of the 65 year or older age group. The negative natural birthrate appeared at first in 1997 and it was 2.2 in 1999. A depopulation and aging of the population is present in the community of Nis.
