Republic of Srpska faces complex demographic problems that are manifested in a constant reduction in birth rates and negative population growth, reducing the number of pupils in primary schools, the process of depopulation, the disappearance of the villages, aging population, emigration of fertile and working-age population abroad. The components of natural movement of population in the period from 1996 to 2008 indicate problems in demographic development. The current rate of natural increase is negative and points to the disruption of vital structures of population with a range of negative consequences. At the level of the Republic of Srpska, family planning and social policy are under the strong influence of changes that occur in society. From the analysis of demographic determinants for the last ten years it is evident that in the Republic of Srpska, for a longer time, there has been active demographic recession initiated by an intensive reduction of fertility rates. In order to increase the fertility a broader social action is needed from which there should arise strategy for demographic development and family planning program that should take into account the number of children required for the replacement of generations. In accordance with the previous, it is needed to intensify activities on systematization of existing measures of population policy and to direct them primarily in pro-natal purposes, in order to distinguish measures of population and social policy. These activities should be developed at all levels, especially at the level of local government. .

Early research related to the natural movement of the population of the City of Sarajevo has shown that the main demographic problems are: negative natural increase, raising the age limit of birth, reduction of the share of third-born children, increase in the overall mortality rate caused by aging of the population and increase in the mortality of population over 70 years of age. Also, the population policy measures that should be aimed at increasing birth rates at the level of the Republic of Srpska and the Municipalities of East Sarajevo are not adequate and sufficient. The analysis of the fertile characteristics of the City of Sarajevo, in that sense, is an extension of the research which could continue, thanks to the conducted census of 2013 (after 22 years without the population census in Bosnia and Herzegovina). The subject of the research work is the fertile characteristics of the population of the City of East Sarajevo according to the population census in 2013. The aim of the research is to present and analyze the extent and age structure of the fertile contingent plantation of the City of East Sarajevo, as well as the share of female fertile population in terms of the number of children born, which allows seeing the share of non-reproduction in reproduction. Also, the aim is to analyze the basic indicators of reproduction: fertility rate, total fertility rate, gross and net reproduction rate, and natural growth rates.

Negative Factors

For decades now, the Republic of Srpska has been affected by the natural depopulation process and starting with 2002 it has been manifested through negative rate of natural increase resulting from natality decrease and mortality increase. During the target period, the number of the live-born declined by 28% whereas the number of the dead increased by 25%. Clearly, negative demographic figures along with negative migrations resulted in the total depopulation. Negative migration balance additionally complicates negative demographic trend, which results in total depopulation of large proportions. Major issue of the Republic of Srpska population is the phenomenon of low fertility resulting from a whole range of negative factors. Therefore, the implementation of population policy measures is fundamental for both society and population in the country.

This qualitative research explored 9- to 12-year-old children’s citizenship participation at primary school in the Republic of Ireland. During 2016–2017, 160 children from 6 co-educational primary schools participated. Through a process of grounded analysis, children are identified as active citizen-peers of their peer groups. As citizen-peers, children used social strategies to assert their agency and autonomy within the adult-controlled school environment. Social bonding between children also influenced the ways citizen-peers negotiated peer group social hierarchies. Inductive analysis of observational data identifies children’s social strategies as covert and overt forms of Collective Social Action ( CSA); motivated by competition and/or protest against the activities children did not want to participate in at school. This research found that low social bonding between children affects peer solidarity, which suggests that social bonding is an important aspect of children’s collaboration as citizen-peers at school.

Yearly rates of population increase and the data about the relative participation of particular areas in the total number of the population of the Republic of Srpska point to the interdependence between the natural movement and the tract processes of emigration, deagrarization and urbanization. These processes are in the harmony with the demographic transition which is followed by the changes in the structure of the active population. Unfavourable tendencies in the re-distribution and reinstatement of the tract-demographic polarization have the reflection in the disturbances in the demographic structures and in the strengthening of the process of the total ageing of the population, specially in the rural areas. These tendencies result in a more pronounced polarization in the reproduction of the population in which the urban areas take over the priority. With the trend of the low and negative natural increase, which has the immediate influence on the accelerated process of ageing of the population, further growth of the population and socio-economic development of the Republic of Srpska are questionable. In order to secure the constant growth of the population of this area, it is urgently necessary to conduct the measures of the population politics, that is, it is necessary to match the demographic and general socio-economic development.

The study focuses on the socio-demographic analysis of postpartum women's perception of family planning and population policy measures in the Republic of Srpska. The demographic method, the structured analysis and the statistical processing of data obtained from a questionnaire conducted with a representative sample of surveys were performed for the purpose of the research. The main hypothesis is grounded on current tendencies of insufficient number of births, negative birth rates, population aging and the widespread single life in the Republic of Srpska. In this regard, it is essential to reflect on the fertile potential of postpartum women, their model of reproductive behavior and attitude towards family planning and current population policy measures. The analysis of postpartum women's perception confirmed the hypothesis that there was a necessity for additional verification of prenatal population policy measures in the Republic of Srpska as most surveys expressed desire to have more children. The obtained results may be considered valid for adopting policies and recommendations with an aim to conduct prenatal measures within the population policy in the Republic of Srpska.

Abstract This article examines the features of the formation of the population of the city of Ulan-Ude - the capital of the Republic of Buryatia (Russia). It shows how socio-economic and administrative changes have affected the total population, the share of the city in the overall population structure, as well as how the territorial structure has been transformed over the past 60 years. In the post-Soviet period, urbanisation has affected not only the capital city itself, but also suburban areas, while small towns and urban-type settlements have largely lost their prospects for territorial and demographic development. Unlike other regional centres of the Far Eastern Federal District, Ulan-Ude is experiencing population growth due to both migration and natural increase. The study is based on the analysis of official data from the All-USSR and All-Russian population censuses and the results of annual statistical reports by Rosstat and Buryatstat.

One of the main demographic problems of the Republic of Srpska is a negative natural increase which has been recorded from 2002 on-wards. The same problem has been registered in the city of East Sarajevo, so this trend and changes in the natural movement of the population of the city will be observed in future work and research. The components of natural movement were observed for the period from 1997 to 2012 because the official statistical records refer to that period. The aim of this paper was to analyze the basic components of natural increase, the birth rate, mortality rate and natural increase in East Sarajevo, and to determine if there is homogeneity in this respect, i.e. whether all municipalities of the city have the same trend when natural movement of population is concerned. This paper will also show how local authorities and local communities deal with certain demographic problems. Does the City Council implements appropriate measures of population policy and can the city of East Sarajevo expect ?a brighter future??

The aim of this study is to analyse the demographic components, with focus on the changes that occur in the number of the population, the density by which is the country populated, the natural flow (movement) of the population, emphasis on the natural growth of the population. As elsewhere in the world, the population in the Republicof North Macedonia as well plays a main role and it is the main factor for the growth and development of the country. However, the population is subject to change and growth depending on various factors such as natural, economical and social factor. The demographic development is expressed through the indicators of the components of the natural movement: natality, fertility, mortality, etc. The number of the population is one of the key factors that is influencing the socio-economic development. As the population is both productive on one side and consumer of material goods on the other, production and consumption depends on the number of the population. Compared to the historical development of human society, in the Republic of North Macedonia, the role of the population in the production process has changed. These changes are most noticeable in the last decades, when the technical-scientific progress has taken a big step, thus significantly affecting the population-production ratios. At the end of the second millennium and the beggining of the third one in North Macedonia's geographic area, significant changes have taken place in the socio-economic plan and especially in the demographic one of its population. Special emphasis is given to the natural movement of the population, which affects the movement of the total population in the Republic of North Macedonia. In this paper we will treat the natural increase of the population in the Republic of North Macedonia for the period from 1994 to the present day, namely its ratio by nationality. Of particular importance in this paper are the spatial and national differences of the natural population movement in the Republic of North Macedonia, and mainly to present more clearly these differences, we have analyzed the latest 2018 data by the Statistical Office of the Republic of North Macedonia for the natural increase of the population of the municipalities, which we have presented in tabular, graphic and cartographic form. Given the differences in natural increase within the country, the expected results are foreseen in the discovery of relevant information about their changes, their trends, and the interaction between the basic indicators obtained by applying relevant statistical parameters and those that portray the development of Republic of North Macedonia over a given period of time. This paper attaches particular importance to the aforementioned demographic features during the period 2003 to 2018 at the state level.

In the last 30 years Finland has been more than successful in conserving and promoting the reproductive health. In comparison to the early 70s Finland has managed, with well organized social action which includes easy access to the contraceptive means, developed network of family planning services and obligatory sexual education in schools, to decrease the number of abortions. Other indicators of reproductive health in Finland also show that it is the one of the best in the world. The role of the state in decreasing the costs of parenthood is also very important. That include maternal leave, which both parents are entitled to, maternal money support up to 80 euros per day, and maternal package, which includes clothes and other necessary things for the first year of the newborn. Finland has a long tradition and experience in institutional backgrounds for defining and implementing the pro-natal policy. The governmental institution V?est?liitto has been promoting the planning of the family very successfully for the last 50 years. The main focuses of this organization are: public health, improving the living conditions, welfare of children and improving the financial situation of the families. Therefore, it seems that Finland is a good example for all countries that want to improve their population policy in the area of reproductive health and family planning. .

Dominant Paradigm

This paper traces changes in the dominant paradigm of Serbian demography that took palace in the context of major socio-political changes during the late twentieth century. The changes are traced both in the realm of research and social policy. It is argued that demographic transition theory remained the main explanatory model but that its modified version which gives precedence to ideational vs. structural variables gained the dominant status. In the realm of social policy the ideology of family planning was replaced by population policy ideology. It is further argued that alarming discourses and sharp rhetoric about population problems did not result in formulation of a system of specific measures of population policy. Thus, the author claims, demographic discourses that at the time saturated public spaces were constitutive for - gender and national -identity politics and not inconsequential for social policy.
