“…The highest number of children born outside marriage is among women in their teen years. Young mothers under the age of 19 are more likely to give birth to a child outside marriage that mostly can be explained by the fact that persons of that age tend to have lower knowledge of the contraceptives, and many of them found it difficult to access [11]. This change in the context of conception and giving birth indicates that many pregnancies are unplanned.…”

The wide range of demogeographic changes that the population in the Republic of Macedonia is facing today are mutually conditioned and followed up one with another. These changes can be recognized in the declining number of marriages and births, delayed marriage until the optimal reproductive age of the women, new forms of illegitimate unions, increased number of divorces, childbearing outside marriage and more. The changes are mainly caused because of the individualization, the emancipation of women, personal freedom, rejection of the traditional moral norms and gender roles. The appearance of childbearing outside marriage in the Republic of Macedonia is not a new phenomenon, but from a geographical point of view it has not been analyzed in details so far. The number of children born outside marriage in the last five decades does not record any significant changes, but when it comes to the percentage share, the values are slightly increasing, especially in the last two decades. Most of the children born outside marriage are born as a first child of the mother, but the share of births of higher order is constantly increasing which shows that childbearing outside marriage is becoming more a matter of choice. The main aim of this paper is to note the differences in the number of births outside marriage and to analyze the demogeographic and ethnic characteristics of women who have given birth in the period from 1970 to 2017 in order to predict the future trends.

“…Most of the existing researches were focused on natural population change in general (e.g. Nejašmić 1986;Klempić and Lajić 2005), and two papers dealt with extramarital births in Croatia (Mrđen 1997;Pavić 2014). There is only one paper dealing with regional characteristics of birth rates in Croatia in the period (Nejašmić, Bašić and Toskić 2008.…”

The paper discusses the marriage and childbearing trends in Croatia and Slovenia from 1985 to 2017. We made a comparative review of several indicators related to marriage and childbearing trends: mean ages of women at first marriage and first childbirth, birth rates, births within and outside marriage, total fertility rate, tempo-adjusted fertility rate, age-specific fertility rates, and marriage rate. The analysis is based on the official statistical data provided by the statistical offices of both countries and Human Fertility Database. Many of the indicators, including the birth rate, total fertility rate and age-specific fertility rate, are somewhat more favourable in Slovenia than in Croatia. One of the major differences between the two countries is that in Slovenia the connection between marriage and childbearing is not as nearly significant as in Croatia.

“…Početkom 21. stoljeća zaključuje se da slabi utjecaj tradicije te da je uvelike odmaknuo proces prihvaćanja društvenih normi koje preferiraju malu obitelj (Akrap i Čipin, 2006;Nejašmić i dr., 2008). Iako druga demografska tranzicija u Hrvatskoj ima svoje specifičnosti (Pavić, 2014b), njezina obilježja sve su više prisutna (Čipin, 2011;Ivić, 2017;Graovac Matassi i Talan, 2021).…”

“…Since the beginning of the 21st century, traditional values have been progressively weakening and smaller families are the increasingly accepted social norm (Akrap and Čipin, 2006;Nejašmić et al, 2008). Although the second demographic transition in Croatia has its specificities (Pavić, 2014b), its characteristics are increasingly present (Čipin, 2011;Ivić, 2017;Graovac Matassi and Talan, 2021).…”

This study investigates the spatio-temporal variability of the Crude Birth Rate in Croatia between 2001 and 2020. The local-scale data covers 556 spatial units. Additionally, the data covers categories by type and size of unit and their respective regions. The study is based on descriptive and spatial statistics (Global and Local Moran's indices). The results reveal two main processes in the long-term trends of birth rates in Croatia: convergence at a low birth rate and a significant decrease in spatial autocorrelation. The most intense convergence took place between 2009 and 2017, mainly overlapping with the economic recession period. The process was also observed at the regional level. Spatial autocorrelation decreased between 2001 and 2016, followed by a slight increase. In the initial years, the main cause could be modernization, and later the economic recession and the subsequent emigration wave that followed Croatia's accession to the European Union. Finally, the continuation of the polarization between the center and the periphery is evident.
