Summary/Abstract: At the end of the 1990’s Yugoslav society is simultaneously faced with two population problems: depopulation and explosive growth of the population. Their main causes are extreme values of fertility which are, in the circumstances of low mortality, the main dynamic factor of population development. In this article the attention is focused on some social preconditions of high and low fertility of Yugoslav regions. Author points at the fact that the process of modernization in socialism was incomplete and marked with authoritarian features and by development of modern values and conservation of traditional ones at the same time.
