Abstract: In this paper, the authors discuss the demographic characteristics of Canton 10 between the Censuses 1991 and 2013. The process of depopulation, especially in rural areas, is becoming more intense due to pronounced unfavorable trends in the dynamics of demographic processes. Canton 10, in the western part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was selected as case study of the problem of depopulation as a region that left even the cities of the Canton in a situation of extremely low population. The Canton 10 is facing demographic aging and steady decline in the enrollment of children in the first grades od primary schools. The causal link between the processes of general depopulation is explained, and the results indicate their far-reaching adverse effects on the future development of the cantonal population.

Key words: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canton 10, depopulation, low population density, demographic aging
