Vital Indicators of the Rural and Agricultural Population in the S. R. Croatia — The Demographical Breakdown
Svetozar Livada
Sažetak
The population of the S. R. Croatia
is at the end of a period of
demographic transition. In 1982
the birth rate was 14.5 per thousand,
the death rate 11.0 per thousand,
the natural population increase
3.5 per thousand, and the
viital index 134.4. This change in
biovital rates is the result of the
influence of industrialization on
demographic development, and in
particular the result of deagrarization.
Some rural regions have typical
age-old trends towards a low
birth-rate, but the sudden decrease
came to expression especially
between the last two censuses
(1971—1981), so that as many as
49 communes had a negative natural
population increase in
1981. 24% of the total population
of the republic lives in these communes.
The author uses data from population
censuses and demographic
statistics to analyze changes in
the demographic structure of the
rural and agricultural population
(according to communities and
regions). He compares changes in
rates of reproduction between
the agricultural and the non-agricultural
population, and between
the rural and the »non-rural« population,
studies the ageing of the
rural and agricultural population,
and the educational structure
of the agricultural population. He
concludes that most of the rural
and agricultural population is
aged, that biological rejuvenation
is symbolic, and that aspirations
towards noo-agricultural occupationstions
are still very strong.
