Summary/Abstract: Since the 1971 census and subsequent to the emigration wave into Western-European countries in the sixties of this century, the overall Croatian population has consisted of the population in Croatia and population working temporarily abroad including family members. In the context of this research, among other things, the author problematizes the statistics of analysing the duality of Croatian population, as well as the obscurities and faulty conclusions appearing if this is not taken into consideration. The key position in the research is taken by a comparative analysis of natural trends of the population present in Croatia and the population working temporarily abroad. By dividing the total number of people born between 1971 and 1991 into those born in Croatia and abroad, the aim was to establish how many people born abroad were included in the Croatian census in 1991. Exact analysis has determined part of the demographic effects of emigration.
