Abstract:

This report contains the results of a project on fertility in Yugoslavia and an evaluation of family planning activities carried out by the Demographic Research Centre with UNFPA funding assistance between 1977 and 1979. Data are taken from a variety of official statistics, surveys, and published studies. The methodology of the various fertility surveys considered is first discussed. Separate chapters are then presented on fertility in Yugoslavia as a whole and in Bosnia-Herzegovina, birth intervals and maternal age at birth, fecundity of married couples, family planning, attitudes toward family size and abortion, demographic aspects of contraception, birth control by means of abortion, and medical aspects of contraception and abortion. Particular attention is paid to regional variations with regard to the topics discussed. This publication is also issued simultaneously in Serbo-Croatian.
