Sažetak
A very high average annual rate of natural increase (22,79‰) with a high
birth rate (32,72‰) shows that first symptoms of demographic transition
in the parish of Rasno appeared in period from 1872 to 1882. Population
growth, lifetime extension and reduced mortality, especially of infants
and children up to 4 years of age, are the effects of transition processes.
High mortality of the fertile contingent was observed in the parish. Most
marriages occurred during the autumn and winter peak. The conception
rhythm is connected with spring and summer, that is, agricultural work
and being outdoors, while the birth rhythm is connected mostly with
winter and spring period. Thanks to the Church teaching and Church
recommendations on premarital chastity, not a single illegitimate child
was recorded.
