Spatial aspects of natality decline of Slovakia’s population

Year, pages: 2002, 289 - 301

The paper deals with the dominant process in the population development of the Slovak Republic in the last decade: decline of natality. It provides information on level of gross rates of natality decline in the districts of the Slovak Republic in the course of the 1990’s. Attention is dedicated above all to regional differences in natality decline rates. Basic causes of changed demographic behaviour of population are analysed including biological-demographic, socio-economic, and psychological factors. Reasons for distinct differentiation of reproductive processes at the level of various social, ethnic or religious population groups are pointed to.
