ВЪЗПРОИЗВОДСТВЕНИТЕ МОДЕЛИ В БЪЛГАРИЯ ПРЕЗ ПЕРИОДА 2001 – 2009 Г. (ЕДИН РАЗЛИЧЕН ПОГЛЕД)
ETHNO – CULTURAL MODELS IN BULGARIA WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD 2001-2009 A DIFFERENT VIEW

Summary/Abstract: The current reproductive policy in Bulgaria influences the future national socio-economic developments. It is necessary to differentiate the demographic policies towards the particular population groups in order to increase the policy impact outcomes. Aim: To identify existence or absence of significant differences in the reproduction models among the populations in the three main ethno-cultural categories (ECC) in the country – Bulgarian, Turkish, Roma – within the time period 2001-2009. Target population: Children born in the period 2001-2009 by age (under 15-19; 20-34; 35-49) and by ECC of the mother. The use of ethno-cultural category instead of ethnic group is justified. Source of information: published and unpublished data of NSI and data from research projects related to demographic development of Bulgaria. Results: The following birth dy-namics in the age group under 15-19 and between 35-49 by ethno-cultural category are established. In the Bul-garian ECC there is significant increase of late births - from 4,97% to 11,47%; Roma EEC permanently keeps high related share of early births – 38%; for the Turkish EEC – early births decrease from 26,9% to 20%. The risks of early and late births for the mother and child are discussed. Significant differences show the established sustainable and ECC-specific models. Conclusion: the application of longitudinal methodological approach for reproduction models changes of every EEC can contribute for the development of differentiated demographic policy.
