Abstract: The subject of this paper is the natural movement of the population in NMK for the period 2014-2022. The aim is to analyze the demographic components of natural population growth such as natality, fertility, and mortality. The population in NMK plays an important role in the country's development, depending on natural, economic, and social factors. In the last decade in the geographical space of the NMK, significant changes have occurred in the socio-economic plan and especially in the demographic of its population. Special attention is paid to the natural movement of the population, as it affects the movement of the general population in the NMK. The methods used in this paper are descriptive, analytical, comparative, statistical, graphic, and cartographic, considering the official data of the State Statistics Agency for the Population of NMK. The natality has generally decreased from 2014-2022 from 11.4 ‰ to 9.9 ‰. But mortality has increased in 2014-2022 from 9.5‰ to 12.3‰ (as a result of Covid-19). Regarding these rates, we found that natural growth has decreased from 1.9‰ to -2.4‰. If we analyze the fertility rate, we will notice that there are changes over the years, from 1.52‰ (2014) there is a decrease to 1.31‰ (2020) and then there is an increase to 1.6‰ (2022). This paper pays particular attention to the aforementioned demographic features at the state level. In our opinion, to change the values in the natural rate of population growth and the general population, specific policies should be undertaken, which would increase the birth rate and help stimulate families by first providing secure jobs for parents, additional financial resources and creating a perspective for the future, which would help increase births and decrease migration.
