Abstract

The ageing of the aged represents one of the main features of the demographic ageing in Serbia during the post-war period. The main indicator of this process is the increase in the share of persons aged 80 and over in total old age population (60+). The author analyzes the dynamics of the elderly population (80+) in the period from 1948-1991 with a special emphasis on the composition by sex. An emphasis is also placed on the regional differences in the process of the demographic ageing of the aged. According to the population projections of Serbia until 2021, it would be realistic to expect an intensive aging of the old - the number of persons aged 80 and over could more than double (from 174 thousand to 368 thousand) and their share in the total could reach 15.3%.
