Albanski populacioni bum na Kosovu i Metohiji nakon Drugog svetskog rata
Albanian Population Boom in Kosovo after Second World War

Summary/Abstract: Albanian population growth in Kosovo-Metohija after the Second World War is a result of demographic processes which took place among them in this period (increased difference between death and birth rates). Economic, health, education and welfare policy measures and better standard of living resulted in much lower death rate (among infants and adults), whereas birth rate remained the same or decreased slightly. Because of its structure, the economy could not deal with surplus labor and thus create an economic basis for Albanian women to emancipate. A stout patriarchal system in which Kosovo-Metohia Albanians lived strongly opposed to family planning. Morality, prejudice and ignorance also played a part in it. The communist regime, with its nature (collectivism) and policies of making deals and inclusion of patriarchal leaders contributed to sustaining the patriarchal system.
