Estimating the Total Demographic Loss of World War II in Yugoslavia: A Critique of Vladimir Žerjavić’s Method

The question of estimating the total demographic loss of Yugoslavia in the Second World War became topical immediately after the end of the war when these estimates became an important aspect in defining the reparational demands of socialist Yugoslavia. The first assessments were made under great political pressure, which was also felt, to a lesser extent, in later revisions. It can therefore be said that each assessment method was adapted according to its purpose. A deviation in this sense is the assessment of Vladimir Žerjavić from 1989, which due to methodological consistency is generally accepted as objective and most often cited in historiographical works. Here we will point out a methodological error of Žerjavić’s estimate and suggest a correct calculation method.
