FOREWORD

“Macedonia in Figures” represents a small statistical yearbook, containing tables and charts with data about the Republic of Macedonia from all the areas covered by the surveys that are conducted by the State Statistical Office.

The publication offers an abundance of data on the social and economic life of the country, presented in small tables and interesting charts that are understandable and well-arranged so as to facilitate the observation of a phenomenon.

The concept of presenting comparative data about the Republic of Macedonia and the EU member states and candidate countries has been retained in this edition as well. Each member state is presented with some basic data arranged in tables and charts.

We hope that this edition of “Macedonia in Figures”, just like the previous ones, will meet your demands for useful and interesting data about the Republic of Macedonia and its place in the European family.

POPULATION BY DIFFERENT TERRITORIAL LEVELS

The territorial distribution of the population in the Republic of Macedonia shows significant disproportion. 57.8% of the population live in the cities (there are 34 cities in the Republic of Macedonia), the highest concentration being in the capital, Skopje (20.5%).

A large part of the rural settlements (the total number of settlements is 1728) are completely depopulated (141 settlement) or have extremely small number of inhabitants, and in the near future, as a result of the unfavourable age structure (old population), will have no population.

On the other hand, in a relatively small number of rural settlements (mostly located in the western and north-eastern parts of the country), the concentration of the population is very large

.



POPULATION BY AGE GROUPS, 2010



The most common causes of death are circulatory diseases with 57.9% of the total number of deaths, followed by neoplasms with 19.4%, and endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases with 6.7%.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION IN NATURAL DATA

The graph shows the industrial production in the period 2001-2010. Included in the calculation of the Index of Industrial Production are the sections Mining and quarrying, Manufacturing industry and Electricity, gas and water supply from the National Classification of Activities. From the graph, it can be seen that in 2009 and 2010 the industrial production decreased significantly in comparison with previous years mostly because of the decrease in production in Manufacturing industry.

COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION WORKS BY BUSINESS ENTITIES ON STRUCTURES IN PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

The largest contributor to the total value of completed construction works on structures in public ownership, built by business entities, is transport infrastructure (with 25.5% in 2010; 33.2% in 2005 and 43.0% in 2005), followed by reconstruction, recovery, adaptation, capital repairs and current maintenance works on constructions (with 21.2% in 2010; 24.1% in 2005 and 25.9% in 2000), non-residential buildings (with 19.2% in 2010; 13.6% in 2005 and 5.3% in 2000), etc.

In 2000, 2005 and 2010, dwellings with 3 rooms were built the most, their share in the total number of completed dwellings by years ranging between 31.5% in 2010, 36.5% in 2000 and 28.8% in 2005, followed by 2-room dwellings with 27.4% in 2010, 37.3% in 2005 and 28.1% in 2000, etc.

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, most building permits were issued for buildings (81.4% in 2008, 79.4% in 2009 and 76.0% in 2010) and for reconstructions (14.3% in 2010, 13.4% in 2008 and 12.7% in 2009); therefore, the expected value of the buildings has the highest share (88.6% in 2008, 85.0% in 2009 and 73.2% in 2010), followed by reconstructions (15.3% in 2010, 6.4% in 2008 and 5.1% in 2009).

1) Previous data

The participation of further processing in the exports and imports decreased from 18.0% in the total trade volume in 2006 to 15.7% in 2010. In the exports, the share of further processing decreased from 26.5% in 2006 to 23.4% in 2010, while in the imports it decreased from 12.6% in 2006 to 11.1% in 2010. This shows that the economy is becoming more oriented towards domestic production rather than export of labour force.

OLD-AGE DEPENDENCY RATIO


This indicator is the ratio between the total number of elderly persons of an age when they are generally economically inactive (aged 65 and over) and the number of persons of working age (from 15 to 64).



TOTAL FERTILITY RATE, 2010


The mean number of children that would be born alive to a woman during her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing years conforming to the fertility rates by age of a given year. This rate is therefore the completed fertility of a hypothetical generation, computed by adding the fertility rates by age for women in a given year (the number of women at each age is assumed to be the same).
