Abstract: This study is an attempt to assess the spatial population aging in Bangladesh using both census and survey data collected from Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics during the period 1951 to 2001. Different measures of population aging have been used for analysis. Spatial auto correlation and spatial regression model have also been used to analyse the data. It is found that the southern region is more aged than other region of the country. There exists a spatial variation of aging process when districts are considered as spatial unit. A negative relationship between the aging index and the CBR has been observed. From the spatial autocorrelation, it is found that there is a positive association among the spatial values of aging index. It is observed that the value of the AI at a given location tends to be similar to the values of that index in nearby locations. From the Spatial regression models it is observed that the spatial lag model fits the data well and supports the claim of spatial auto correlation.
