Changes in the Age-sex Population Structure of the East Adriatic Islands (1953-1991)

Ivo Nejašmić

Abstract

Changes in the age-sex population structure of the East Adriatic islands which accured in the period 1953-1991 are examined in the paper. Great emigration (together with some other factors), besides causing the entire population emptying, had led to noticeable lopping of the age-sex structure of the island population. Particularly the North Dalmatian islands have been strongly hit; from the point of view of size; a group of small islands; regarding settlements, more significantly groups in the islands' inland. The degree od population ageing is such that it threatens with deterioration of circumstances so that, most probably, a part of Croatian islands will remain without permanent inhabitants in the forseeable time.
