SUVREMENE TENDENCIJE U RAZVOJU STANOVNIŠTVA HRVATSKE
CURRENT TENDENCIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CROATIAN POPULATION

Summary/Abstract: At the transition of the century the Croatian population was found in a pretty unflattering position, with long-term unfavourable demographic tendencies, processes and structures that have become the dominant limiting factor of the stable and prosperous social and cultural development of the country. This is the consequence of the cause-effect determination, as well as of the imbued “inner” and “outer” determining characteristics of demographic development, many of which have had, or still have some destabilizing impact on the development of the population in Croatia. There is no doubt that a stable, natural and positive development of population is one of the basic social, or even national values in Croatia, for it represents – due to its numerous special qualities and long-term effects - one of the rare values which in their fullness and universality present the true existentialistic character of the Croatian state.
