In this paper we are analyzing basic demographic indicators for the

population movement in Republic of Macedonia, with focus on migration

movements. The intensive migration, basically including young

population up to 40 years of age, with different intensity, is characteristic

for the last two decades. This is typical for the post conflict period, and

based on different socio-economic indicators. Through analyses of two

surveys conducted in 2014 and 2018 on Faculty of Law in Shtip, are

included different categories of youth from the East part of Republic of

Macedonia. Every produced theses for future social development

(economy, education, science etc.) are dependent from demographic

indicators of the youth population, and through the conducted research we

can generate assumptions for the potential of general social development.
