Summary: Croatia as a demographic phenomenon. Low population
increase and structure distortion. Changes of geographic density and
spatial distribution. Discrepancy between demographic transition and
socio-economic development. Regional examples. Migrational balance of
districts and communes. Definition and realization of the population
policy in Croatia. Some comparisons with European countries.
Keywords: Population, distribution, demographic development, natural increase (natality, fertility, mortality, increase), migrations, general movements of population, the structure of population, regional trends, population policy.
Research goals: Redefinition and research the demographic process in
Croatia independently of the political implications and of the State
territorial division. A research to a new image of the demographic changes
in the after war period of Croatia in order to built corresponding
population policy. Analysis of all relevant demographic components (in
process and structure), especially in the period between the two last
censuses, is to be expected. The main target should be to look at to
previse and to point out the negative demographic trends on the state
level aswell as on the regional ones to point out a functional population
policy. That research should be basic and needful hypothesis for all kinds
of planning social, political, economic and regional as well. The
migrational complex should be the subject of the research too (in
correlation of ex Yugoslavia space). All that is going to be the
hypothesis of a demographic synthesis in frame of an adequate population
policy (what should be supplied the country by the demographic contingent
needed in the future).
