Sažetak
The paper analyses and presents the social structure of the city of Bakar according to the census of 1775. The census was conducted in pre-statistic times and belongs to the group of static historical-demographic analyses with the following main features: instantaneousness, comprehensiveness and individuality. Starting from this source, we determined the structure and organisation of family and household, as well as their vital demographic features. Based on these factors, we concluded that simple nuclear family type and young population (according to the number of children recorded) had prevailed in Bakar. Social structure was analysed through the prevailing types of family structure – from plebeians and clergy to aristocracy. Bourgeoisie was not pointed out separately. Furthermore, the economic structure was analysed; it was concluded what kind of influence it had exercised at the end of the XVIIIth century on the families in Bakar. The beginning of industrialisation and economy in progress ensured the preconditions for an increased number and choice of professions, which made the city of Bakar rather appealing to live and work in. In this historical and demographic analysis, there were factors indicating to what might be understood as locally specific qualities.
