Promjene u obrazovnoj strukturi stanovništva Karlovačke županije (1981. - 2001.)
Changes in Educational Structure of the Population of Karlovac County (Croatia) in the Period 1981 – 2001

Summary/Abstract: In the period between 1981 and 2001 significant changes in the educational structure of the population of Karlovac County occurred. The improvement in the educational structure of the population is noticeable. The changes in the educational structure of the population should be seen in the interaction with other demographic processes (especially depopulation and population ageing). The focus of this paper is based on the explanation and understanding of changes in the educational structure of the population and its correlation with negative demographic processes. There is a strong correlation between the economic situation and demographic trends which affects the educational structure of the population. The Croatian Homeland War had an intense influence on the demographic and socio-economic situation during the 1990s. The long-lasting process of emigration was intensified during Serbian aggression on the researched county, which had negative consequences on the educational structure of the population.
