Abstract
The health and social protection of motherhood and children are one of the priority measures of population policy in Croatia. The aim of the paper is to gain insight into vital statistical and demographic changes and some indicators of reproductive health of women as well as newborn health through analysis of available data. In addition to the total number of inhabitants according to the censuses, other relevant indicators have been presented, including population age, birth rate, mortality and natural change, vital index, perinatal mortality rate, general fertility rate, and share of a fertile contingent of women. The data source is the annual report of the Central Bureau of Statistics. The population of Croatia is characterized by aging processes. The mortality rate in the twenty-year period in a slight increase, from 11.4 to 11.8, while at the same time the birth rate in a significant decline, from 10.8 to 9.8. This has led to a decline in the natural population growth of -0.6 to -2.2. In Croatia, perinatal mortality is steadily decreasing, ranging from 9.8 in 2001 to 6.8 in 2010, which also indicates a high level of perinatal health protection for women. The overall fertility rate in 2010 was 42.2, which represents a significant drop in the last twenty years. In the last population census, the share of the fertile contingent of women dropped to 43.8%, which, compared to the 1971 census, fell by 7.5%. The presented indicators point to good health care for women and newborns in Croatia, while negatively affecting demographic trends driven by numerous social factors.
