A Socio-Demographic Sketch of Six Regions in Croatia
Ivan Magdalenić
Milan Župančić
Sažetak
The authors’ goal was to establish, analyze
and interpret the structure and changes of
population development in Croatia’s main
regions. The territory of Croatia is divided
into six large regions, which emerge from
the more recent administrative division of
the country into 21 counties and almost
480 municipalities and cities. Basic
indicators show that the Croatian
population has characteristics similar to
those in other European countries. After
1971 the population increase fell off
considerably, the birth rate decreased, and
the population grew much older.
The authors pay special attention to the
period of war and population loss after
1991, when the rate of natural population
increase became negative. This led to a
population decrease independent of
migration and war losses.
Conditions are worst in rural and
mountain regions, which have been
exposed to depopulation for a long time,
and have recently been going through real
social and demographic collapse.
