The research focuses on the characteristics and transformation of the age structure in AP Vojvodina from 1948 to 2022, examining demographic trends and socio-geographic events to present and analyse changes in the region's age structure trends and characteristics. We analysed the population age structure found on the age pyramids and the calculation of the age indicators based on the Census data. Substantial changes are present in the young (0-14 years) and old (65 and over) populations, which have opposite trends. Since 2002, the number of inhabitants in Vojvodina has been decreasing, while the number of older adults is growing. In 2002, the proportion of the young population stood at 15.9%, mirroring closely the 15.5% share held by the older population. According to the last population Census, every fifth resident in Vojvodina is 65 years old or older. The young population in Vojvodina has been decreasing since the 1961 census. Trends in the category of the working-age population indicate the process of demographic ageing of the population of Vojvodina. These shifts in age group proportions have side effects on the region's demographic landscape and societal dynamics. The rising share of older adults signals the need for policies and support systems to cater to the needs of an ageing population, such as healthcare, pension plans, and elderly care services. The changing ratio of young individuals may impact education, family dynamics, and workforce planning. Comprehending these demographic patterns holds significant importance for policymakers and stakeholders, enabling them to respond to the shifting needs and complexities within the population of Vojvodina
