摘要：Population policy in theory and practice exists in a more restricted (demographic) concept and also in a broader (socio-economical) concept. Some characteristics are mentioned in the text which have proved significant in defining and implementing an expansive (pro-natality), restrictive (anti-natality), redistributive (migrational) and eugen ic (qualitative) populational policy. A short review of the non-European and especially European experience in planning population development and care has shown an array of factors that act differently in space and time. Out of all examples, closestto Croatia are those of western european countries. They indicate that each country has its particularity and that these should be considered when looking for and determining one's own population policy. In short, a conclusion imposes itself about the necessity of supporting higher fertility rates in addition to securing adequate material support for the individual, family and institutions (infrastructure of the pre-school and the other three degrees of education). However, the initial and basic activity is providing a tangible material foundation without which it would be impossible to reverse a negative natural population trend. For establishing a more lasting process three steps are advised: pro-natality, infrastructural pre-school, infrastructural school (primary, secondary and college education) and pulsatory (a step of a more lasting relaxed manner on a higher socio-economical level), Therefore, one should bear in mind that the indirect factors have proved somewhat more efficacious than some of the direct factors of change of the natural population trend, especially in a more lasting period and observed from the point of view of generations. This indicates the conclusion that one should seek a kind of "over-all model" as a sum of general and specific population policy measures (type of family, size of family, its economic power and environment) commencing with the economic development of the community (arranging the family in grades according to the economic power of the society). The point is to achieve a demographically moderate, economically provided for and socially stable family.
