Suprapopulation(population growth) is present in a very small number of territorial units(villages and municipalities), while depopulation (decrease of population) hasaffected a large number of spatial units. During the recenttimes, industrialization, agrarian reform and urbanization led to the migrationand depopulation of biological type in rural areas in the last 30 years.Cities, as opposed to rural areas, have had so far superpopulation, noting thatnow in some of them there is a biological depopulation. The form of simplerenewal of the population in BiH has changed in the late 80’s of the lastcentury. There are numerous causes ofmigration in the territory of BiH, but the economic and political and asecurity reasons were the most important. The migration demographic losses weregreatest in the total demographic losses. As a result of biovitalitent,biodynamic and migration processes and relations in BiH, dominated by thedepopulation spatial units, spread to over more than 3/4 of its territory.Depopulation and aging are two related demographic processes that mostinfluence the demographic development of an area. Depopulation encouraged byemigration and low fertility is generally characterized as a problem,especially for smaller territorial units that are faced with the process ofdemographic extinction. Demographicchange cannot be solved by partial measures and small reforms. Major reforms,which will compensate population decline and aging population, will be plenty painful.Social situation for future generations will be quite different and very uncertainlooking from today's position.
