Rađanja izvan braka u Hrvatskoj

Abstract

This article offers the analysis of the evolution of extramarital births in Croatia and some European countries from 1950 to 1994. In order to explain the change and the level of extramarital births in Croatia, the author puts in correlation nuptiality, fertility and woman's marriageable age. The change of extramarital births per communes and counties in Croatia is also analysed, the existing differences between Croatian and non-Croatian population being emphasized.

A sociodemographic profile of the participants in the Croatian Islands' Birth Cohort Study (CRIBS)

“…that a child should be born in wedlock and brought up by a married couple. The analysis of extramarital births in Croatia showed the lowest portion of extramarital births in southern, eastern, and northern Croatia (Mrđen, 1997;Pavić, 2014). The surveyed populations, especially the islands' populations, belong to Mediterranean communities and Mediterranean countries are characterised by high degree of institutionalisation of marriage as a central family institution, family solidarity, and a high level of contact within and between families (Guerrero and Naldini, 2009, 44).…”

Trend and Factors of Non-Marital Births in Croatia 1998–2012

“…Podatci o rađanjima od 16. do 19. stoljeća pokazuju da je udio rođenja izvan braka u Europi, uz neke iznimke, iznosio od 2% do 7% (Perelli-Harris i dr., 2010) i bio je odlika uglavnom siromašnih, prethodno vjenčanih i ruralnih stanovnika (Kiernan, 2004;Perelli-Harris i dr., 2010). Tijekom 20. stoljeća, brak je predstavljao dominantni oblik zajednice žene i muškarca, a šezdesete i rane sedamdesete godine 20. stoljeća predstavljale su »zlatno doba braka« u većini zapadnoeuropskih zemalja (Kiernan, 2004), ali i u Hrvatskoj (Mrđen, 1997). U Hrvatskoj je u istom razdoblju zabilježen i najmanji udio izvanbračnih rođenja, i to između 4,7% i 6,8% (Mrđen, 1997).…”

“…U Hrvatskoj su istraživanja dinamike izvanbračnih rođenja i s njima povezanih društvenih, ekonomskih i drugih čimbenika nevelikog opsega. Mrđen (1997) je pokazala kako od pedesetih do sredine sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća udio izvanbračnih rođenja lagano opada, da bi nakon toga do sredine devedesetih godina 20. stoljeća lagano rastao. Isto tako, pokaza-la je da od sredine osamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća broj prvih sklopljenih brakova naglo opada, a broj izvanbračnih rođenja relativno naglo raste.…”

Basic Demographic Processes in Croatia

“…In spite of the fact that around 90% of the children in Croatia are born into families it is also evident that there is a significant tendency of this trend declining. This is explained by a shift in attitude related to birth, marriage and family, as well as by the change in fertility rates out of wedlock, increase in the number of unmarried women and institutionalising the unmarried communities (Mrđen, 1997). A trend of "family uninstitutionalization" is present (Puljiz, 1995).…”
