Studies of socio-economic phenomena often touch on the issues concerning similarity between demographic structures. The measures usually used in the evaluation of structure similarity or in the investigation of the extent of structural changes are functions of distance metrics of their partial indicators. The study points out the possibility of using Csiszar divergence measures (f-divergences) in the quantification of the extent of similarity of demographic structures and their changes with time using the example of regional statistical data on fourteen territorial units of the Baltic region established at NUTS 2 level.
