Abstract
In the period between 1981 and 2001 significant changes in
the educational structure of the population of Karlovac
County occurred. The improvement in the educational
structure of the population is noticeable. The changes in the
educational structure of the population should be seen in the
interaction with other demographic processes (especially
depopulation and population ageing). The focus of this
paper is based on the explanation and understanding of
changes in the educational structure of the population and
its correlation with negative demographic processes. There is
a strong correlation between the economic situation and
demographic trends which affects the educational structure
of the population. The Croatian Homeland War had an
intense influence on the demographic and socio-economic
situation during the 1990s. The long-lasting process of
emigration was intensified during Serbian aggression on the
researched county, which had negative consequences on the
educational structure of the population.
