Summary/Abstract: The family represents the key structure for the organization and grouping of the people, which regardless its conceptual definition remains main reproduc¬tive unit of a society, nation and state. Under war circumstances, each family transforms its functions and adapts them to the hardships posed by war. As a key societal unit family manifestly suffers in war through death, wounding, and disabilities of their members as well as through material and other losses, including forced displacement. Families in Bosnia and Herzegovina have endured specific hardships dur¬ing the 1992 – 1995 war, that have left longterm consequences on them, which are still present, even more then 20 years after the war. War-conditioned demographic losses in families among all three largest ethnic groups in Bosnia as well as post-war statistically significant migration towards the West left deep marks on demographic state of families and society in Bosnia and Hercegovina.
