Abstract: The educational structure of population has great significance in demographic research, considering its impact on natural and migrational population movements, as well as on certain population structures studied by demography. The educational structure and educational level of population are important for every country since there is a mutual dependence between overall social development and population structure in terms of educational characteristics. This paper analyses educational features, that is the literacy and school qualifications of the population of Sajkaska in the period of time from 1961 to 2011, on the scale of settlements as well as on the scale of the whole area. According to the all considered censuses the region of Šajkaška has substantially higher illiteracy rate when compared to Vojvodina. Thus there arose a need for a more detailed analysis of the educational structure of population in 14 settlements that belong to this region. The research results show a constant decrease of illiteracy rate in the region of Šajkaška from census to census (1961: 12.6%; 2011: 2.7%); a decrease in the percentage of people without educational attainment, as well as in the number of people with incomplete primary education and in the number of those who finished only primary schools (1961: 92.5%; 2011: 42.7%), all in favour of the increase of the percentage of people with secondary education (1961: 7.0%; 2011: 50.6%), which is characteristic of whole Vojvodina and the Republic of Serbia. The rate of people with completed academic and university education is the least (1961: 0.5%, 2011: 6.6%).
Key words: Population, Structure, Literacy, educational qualifications, Vojvodina, Serbia.
