Demographic Determinants and Characteristics of the Family Structure of Croatian Population
Anđelko AKRAP

Sažetak
In the text the main characteristics of Croatia's contemporary
demographic development are portrayed as well as the
family population picture. It has been determined that there
is a prominent causal connection and permeation among the
contemporary demographic processes, relations and trends
in Croatia and the determinants forming the family
population structure, as well as with trends in the number
and demographic characteristics of marriages and divorces.
All the relevant determinants of Croatian population
development during the last decades indicate ever more
unfavourable characteristics (natural depopulation,
demographic ageing, reproduction and generation
depopulation, excessive spacial population polarisation…), in
addition to which came the war in the last decade of the
twentieth century, with all its grave consequences in the
sphere of demographic losses. The latter determined the
development and characteristics of the family population
structure in Croatia in a negative way, which, undoubtedly,
has been most clearly reflected in a more pronounced
decrease of the number of marriages and increase of
divorces, followed by a rising divorce rate and a greater
growth of live-born children out of wedloc.
