Abstract: The Slovenian population is aging. In order to best adapt to this demographic change, it is necessary to face this issue and to study it from the perspective of various disciplines, including geography. This article therefore especially focuses on the spatial characteristics of population aging in Slovenia in addition to general characteristics. The findings show that population aging in Slovenia is not uniform; instead, there are large differences in population aging in Slovenia. In addition to general social processes such as falling birthrates and increasing life expectancy, these are primarily the result of spatial movement of the population. The conclusion presents some consequences that will arise in Slovenian territory and society in the future due to population aging.
