SERBIA: TRANSITION FROM ABORTION TO CONTRACEPTION OR NOT?
SERBIA: TRANSITION FROM ABORTION TO CONTRACEPTION OR NOT?

Summary/Abstract: At the end of demographic transition and in its post-transitional phase, according to Tietze’s model, contraception has become a dominant method of birth control, while induced abortions lag behind with insignificant participation. The stated model is of general type and refers to developed countries today. It is possible that there are some differ-rences among them, but to a small extent. However, significant and even great differences exist between Tietze’s model and the relation between contraception and induced abortion in Serbia. This paper deals with the phenomenon of the domination of traditional birth control in Serbia and seeks a reply to the question whether the beginning of the 21st century marks a shift in this sphere.
