Population development with regard to age groups shows a clear trend towards an aging of the population.
In the last nineteen years the population younger than 15 years dropped from 18,63% to 14,08% which is a
decline of 2,75% whereas the number of people older than 60 years increased from 19,41% to 23,62%
which is a increase of 2,44%. The number of people in the working age between 15 and 60 years was remained
stable (Diagram 1).
The gender distribution within the area changed slightly in the last 20 years. In 2010, 50,98% of the residents
were female, 49,02% male. The uneven gender distribution has derogated minimally, but constantly
since 1991. According to future prospects, this will not change substantially until 2031. The slightly higher
percentage of female residents is a result of higher life expectancy.
