Recent Demographic Trends and Policy Initiatives in Croatia

From January 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2016, Croatia lost around 160, 000 persons, and this figure will likely to approach 200, 000 by the end of 2017. Over the last few years, out- migration has become the main demographic driver of depopulation in Croatia. Population decline attributable to negative net migration is even greater as large unregistered emigration is present, especially after joining EU in 2013. Low fertility should not be treated solely as a „problem to be solved“ but as a „symptom of some other social problems“. Population ageing is not a purely demographic problem, so its negative effects cannot be solved only by demographic policies.
