Demographic trends and economic development of the country are in the cause - effect relationship. Any disturbance in demographic trends reflectes in the direction of economic development of the country and vice versa. This paper presents an analysis of the main demographic trends in B&H. The results showed that B&H faces the challenges of reducing the number and aging of its population. In the period 1991 - 2013, B&H has lost 19.33% of its population. The average age of the population in Bosnia and Herzegovina has a constant growth trend from Census 1981 to the Census 2013. The average life expectancy of the population has been inreased by 6.8 years in a period 1999 - 2015. Natural growth is in constant decline for the whole observed period (1996 - 2015) and since 2007 has a negative trend. In the period 2006 - 2016 the number of people who consist the workforce of Bosnia and Herzegovina decreased by 103.000. Analysis of registered departures to abroad shows that working age population leaves B&H in majority. According to projections of the UN these adverse trends will rapidly continue in the coming decades.
