Proces starzenia się ludności w miastach makroregionu południowo-wschodniego

Abstract

The paper aimed at presentation of level and dynamics of population aging in towns of south- -eastem Poland in the light of selected parameters. An attempt was made to demonstrate the dependence of the size of the town upon the level of aging and dynamics of the process. Investigating the changes of burden rates in 1988-1996 it was proved that in most of analysed towns the aging level recorded a significant increase. It was stated that in towns of south-eastern Poland there was no direct correlation between the size of the unit and the aging level or dynamics of the process.
