About article:
The population ageing process comprises the changes of age structure, which are indicated by the decrease in the number and proportion of children in the population and increase in the number and proportion of the higher age population categories.
The main aim of the article is to analyse the time and regional aspects of population ageing in the Slovak Republic. The changes of the population age structure in Slovakia over time are evaluated in the years 1900-2005. Regional analysis of this process is oriented to the population ageing in Slovak districts. Using the 2001 census data the regional types of ageing structure are identified by cluster analysis. The relative ageing intensity in Slovak districts between the 1991 and 2001 census is presented by using a hexagonal diagram.
