Utjecaj imigracije na strukture stanovništva Splita
The Effect Of Immigration On Population Structures Of Split

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the development of the total population of Split in the period from 1857 to 2001, with emphasis on the effect of immigration (in-migration) on the age-gender, educational and economic structure and on the structure of households. Until the Second World War, Split increased its population relatively slowly. However, the acceleration of industrialisation and the development of tercial activities after WWII created needs for more labour, which was the reason for intensive immigration, especially during the 1960s and 1970s. Immigration had an effect on the growth of the number of inhabitants, but it also influenced the age-gender, educational and economic structure and the structure of households. The author describes the influence of immigration on the demographic structure of Split on the basis of field research conducted in Split in May 2002.
