Summary/Abstract: The article examines the effects of influence of demographic policy on the formation and development of human resources in Latvia. The objective of the article aims to determine “weak points” of population system’s policy and develop the conceptual proposals that will resolve existing disputes. The main indicators characterizing a demographic situation in Latvia are analysed. The results of the analysis indicate the existence of deep demographic crisis in Latvia. Without taking effective measures to improve the demographic situation, the population of Latvia will decrease dramatically. In the conclusion, the proposals on the increasing the effectiveness of the system of demographic policy in Latvia were put forward.
