FAMILY STRUCTURE AND DEMOGRAPHIC PICTURE IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA
Marija Bušelić
Sažetak
The analyses of population movements in the Republic of Croatia are characterized by
depopulation features, which have been especially prominent since 1991. Natural and mechanical
population movements contribute to total depopulation. Natural depopulation is mostly caused by
diminution in the number of marriages, divorce increment as well as marriages without children. An
empirical research on students’ population has been applied in our work in order to identify their
attitudes towards marriage, family and children.
The results point to students’ positive attitudes and the fact that these attitudes reflect their
family structure and their provenience (urban, rural). They associate their positive attitudes with the
later entry into marriage as a consequence of social and economic factors.
