Summary/Abstract: In making estimates of the total population trends in Croatia in the period between the 1991 census and the year1998, the author has observed the appearance of several unsatisfactory (and undesirable) processes in Croatia’s population in the past eight years. In this paper three of these are analysed, according to the author’s opinion – the least desirable processes from the point of view of the future development of Croatian population. The first is a matter of total population decrease in Croatia. In 1998 there were 6.5% less inhabitants than in 1991. The second undesirable process, connected with the previous, is a considerable disturbance of the Croatian population’s territorial distribution. The population of Croatian counties is very uneven.
