3Macedonia in Figures

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.

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 1 728) are completely depopulated (141 settlements) or have extremely small number of inhabitants, and in the near future, as a result of the unfavorable 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, 2011



The most common causes of death are circulatory diseases with 59.2% of the total number of deaths, followed by neoplasms with 18.2%, symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical findings, not elsewhere classified with 6.9%, and endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases with 3.9%.

The graph shows the industrial production in the period 2001-2011. Included in the calculation of the Index of Industrial Production are the sections Mining and quarrying, Manufacturing industry and Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply from the National Classification of Activities. From the graph, it can be seen that in 2011 the industrial production increased significantly in comparison with the previous year mostly because of the increase in production in Manufacturing industry.

The largest contributor to the total value of completed construction works on structures in public ownership, built by business entities, is transport infrastructure (with 46.7% in 2001, 35.5% in 2006 and 19.9% in 2011), followed by reconstruction, recovery, adaptation, capital repairs and current maintenance works on constructions (with 15.9% in 2001, 31.8% in 2006 and 21.8% in 2011), non-residential buildings (with 6.8% in 2001, 5.9% in 2006 and 27.8% in 2011), etc.

In 2001, 2006 and 2011, dwellings with 3 rooms were built the most, their share in the total number of completed dwellings by years ranging between 35.8% in 2001, 36.2% in 2006 and 33.0% in 2011, followed by 2-room dwellings with 27.9% in 2001, 28.2% in 2006 and 23.8% in 2011, etc.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, most building permits were issued for buildings (79.4% in 2009, 76.0% in 2010 and 77.3% in 2011) and for reconstructions (12.7% in 2009, 14.3% in 2010 and 14.6% in 2011); consequently, the expected value of the buildings has the highest share (85.0% in 2009, 73.2% in 2010 and 86.7% in 2011), followed by reconstructions (5.1% in 2009, 15.3% in 2010 and 5.9% in 2011).

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).
