DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF POPULATION POLICY, DIMENSIONS AND CLASSIFICATION

Summary/Abstract: Population policy is most often understood as a system of measures and actions that act on demographic processes, especially natural and spatial movement, in order to achieve a certain (by direction, intensity and structure) specific population movement, harmonized with existing economic, social, political and other goals. However, as knowledge in the subject area grows, the notion of population policy does not stagnate. Although there are nuanced theoretical interpretations of the concept of population policy, its definition is most often related to its practical dimension. As the concept of population policy has several dimensions, we can define it by the formulation that it is a set of measures and actions aimed at shaping demographic development, and a scientific discipline, or branch of demography that studies the legality of action to shape demographic development, and comparative analyzes of its applications, and formally determined social action, is action of a certain public-legal entity. We can consider population policy through its dimensions. From the different definitions of the concept of population policy to conclude that the concept of population policy must be understood multidimensionally. In that sense, population policy as a kind of category can be viewed from three aspects. The first aspect denotes population policy as a practice, the second aspect views population policy as a branch of demography, ie a scientific discipline, while the third aspect treats population policy as a document. Population policy can be classified in different ways: from the point of view of its scope and reach, from the aspect of function and object according to which it primarily acts, from the aspect of grouping countries according to the achieved degree of demographic changes, according to the territorial level, as well as in other ways.
