Sažetak
Characteristics of population movements in SR Croatia have stimulated the author to research tendencies present in the movements of working contingent and active population, in that Yugoslav republic, in the period of 1961—1971. Considerable changes have taken place in all the analysed structures of population, and particularly in the structure of population according to economic activity, in the last ten years, between the two censuses. It is evident that just the changes in that structure are most closely connected with the economic and social progress of our country. Basic trend in the economic development of SR Croatia, in the mentioned period, was further industrialization based on modern technology, social ownership of the means of production and associated labor. Changes in the analysed demographic structures are being the most direct expression of the basic characteristics and tendencies of the natural and migratory movements of population, as well as of some external factors (war influence). There was a relative and absolute decrease in the number of 0—14 years old population, with an increasing participation in the aging life time, in the second half of the fifties and in the sixties, caused by a fast decrease of a birth rate. The aging tendency among the working contingent of population was noticed at the same time. The fact that such an age structure comprehends basis necessary for the reproduction of active population in seventy and eighty years of age, cannot be left apart. In that case, the pressure of young generations, with regard to employment, in SR Croatia, will be perceivably less. With regard to the rates of growth of employment, anticipated for the period till 1985, the supply of manpower could be inadequate, having in mind the anticipated positive migratory balance in the inter-republic migrations. Therefore, data about the existing reserves of manpower, that comprised in the non-active part of the working contingent, in the existing agricultural reserves as well as in a group of workers coming back from abroad, should necessarily been at our disposal. Wider and more active policy of manpower appears as a necessary part of the future policy of economic progress in that area and in our whole community.
