This final paper examines the impacts of demographic trends on the Croatian economy. In the first, introduction part of the paper, basic parameters of population movements, primarily natural and mechanical once, are considered. Then it goes through elements of the structure of the population, both sexes, ages, education, national and religious. They are showing the economic consequences of demographic changes, such as the impact of population aging on the labor market, consumption and savings, and the pension system. The labor market indicators, causes and types of unemployment as well as the functioning of the institutional framework are presented in the further sections of the work. Political measures for the regeneration of demography in the country are also presented. Through the years, Croatia has faced high youth unemployment and to a large extent, discouraged people. Offers and demand are not harmonized, indicating weak labor market performance and constant structural unemployment. High rates of unemployment are partially due to high taxes, resource scattering, mismatching the educational system and the real needs of the market, lack of qualified employees... It can be said that Croatia is characterized by negative population trends that represent a significant problem and challenge for future economic development.
