Fertility by birth order of population in Serbia

Abstract

Based on fertility by birth order, it is possible to research the level of the reproductive norms in certain population. In the period after World War II there were big changes in the fertility by birth order in Central Serbia and Vojvodina and that is the consequence of the population's reproductive norms decrease in these areas. Therefore, in this article we will analyze the trends of fertility by birth order changes for population in Central Serbia and Vojvodina in the period from 1948 to 2012.

Na osnovu fertiliteta po redu rođenja moguće je istražiti nivo reproduktivnih normi u određenoj populaciji. U periodu nakon završetka Drugog svetskog rata na prostorima centralne Srbije i Vojvodine došlo je do velikih promena u fertilitetu po redu rođenja, što je posledica snižavanja reproduktivnih normi stanovništva na datim prostorima. S tim u vezi u okviru ovog rada biće analizirani trendovi u kretanju fertiliteta po redu rođenja stanovništva centralne Srbije i Vojvodine u periodu 1948-2012. godine.
