Observed trends in the field of factors affecting the size and structure of the population, such as: decrease in fertility, increase in life expectancy, creation and breakdown of families, movement of population, determine the labour market, education, health care, and also affect the nature of consumption or the social insurance market. It can be concluded that, along with the progressing demographic changes, the areas of social and economic life that they condition will expand.
