Summary/Abstract: Early research related to the natural movement of the population of the City of Sarajevo has shown that the main demographic problems are: negative natural increase, raising the age limit of birth, reduction of the share of third-born children, increase in the overall mortality rate caused by aging of the population and increase in the mortality of population over 70 years of age. Also, the population policy measures that should be aimed at increasing birth rates at the level of the Republic of Srpska and the Municipalities of East Sarajevo are not adequate and sufficient. The analysis of the fertile characteristics of the City of Sarajevo, in that sense, is an extension of the research which could continue, thanks to the conducted census of 2013 (after 22 years without the population census in Bosnia and Herzegovina). The subject of the research work is the fertile characteristics of the population of the City of East Sarajevo according to the popu lation census in 2013. The aim of the research is to present and analyze the extent and age structure of the fertile contingent plantation of the City of East Sarajevo, as well as the share of female fertile population in terms of the number of children born, which allows seeing the share of non-reproduction in reproduction. Also, the aim is to analyze the basic indicators of reproduction: fertility rate, total fertility rate, gross and net reproduction rate, and natural growth rates.
