Within this demographic, special emphasis should be placed on the natural movement of the Macedonian population. In this paper, the following will be about the natural increase of the overall population of Macedonia and the natural increase by ethnicity. Of particular importance in this paper are the spatial and national differences of natural population movement in Macedonia, and mainly to present more clearly these differences, we analyzed the most recent data of 2017 by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Macedonia for the natural increase of the population of the municipalities, which we presented in tabular, graphical and cartographic form. Indices of births in general, births by maternal age, maternal, maternal, mortality, cause of death, etc. are very important not only for the development of the demographic process but also for the development of the country in general. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the aging population phenomenon at national and national level. This paper attaches particular importance to the aforementioned demographic features during the period 1994 to 2017 at the state level.
