Summary/Abstract: Theoretical and Methodological Aspects of Population Policy and its Conception for the Slovak Republic. The article deals with theory, methodology as well as international and Slovak experiences with population policy. The main aim is to distinguish between the population policy and other policies, especially family, social and migration ones. The article reviews several definitions and models of the population policy, focusing on the differences between its wide and narrow conceptions and their country-specific applications. Authors analyse the population policy in Slovakia, which could had been launched in Slovakia only after 1989; and critically assess the debates on its success and efficiency. Authors explore the constitutive components of successful population policy such as its founding value principles, including humanism, cultural and societal integrity, social equity, tolerance, freedom, responsibility, and inter and intra-generational solidarity. Tools one can use in this field are various with respect to their attributes. Authors compare legislative, social, economic, educational and medical tools and measures of social policy and conclude that the issues of migration, housing, equality of opportunities and consistency between work and family duties shall be included into the conception of population policy in Slovakia.
