The paper deals with the study of changes in the composition of the population of Vukovar-Syrmia County in the period from 1961 to 2011. The changes in the composition of the population with regard to age and gender, as well as the ageing of the population, are being thoroughly analysed. One chapter deals with analytical indicators of the age composition of the population and gives a standardization of the age composition to the level of settlements. Vukovar-Syrmia County is compared with the Republic of Croatia, and changes in the demographic composition of urban and other settlements in the county are analysed. Causes, consequences and characteristics of the changes that have occurred in this fifty-year-period are reviewed and analysed. It is concluded that an early and rapid demographic and general socio-economic recovery of this part of Croatia is not possible without an increase in the birth rate (which should encourage rejuvenation of the age composition), immigration of population, the development of the economy and employment of young people in order to stop their massive emigration.
