“…Here as well, the fertility rates depend upon the relief, which is in line with the findings in Slovenia (Josipovič, 2003(Josipovič, , 2004, as long as a micro-region retains sufficient population (generally above 500 inhabitants; with 300 as a minimum). Accordingly, it should be stressed that the rural settlements and municipalities are under heavier pressure and more demographically endangered across both sides of the border region, precisely due to low number of population, and not due to ageing as might be expected and propagated.…”

“…The discrepancy between the total population change and the fertility rates on maps 3 and 4 is only partially unexpected. According to the research results from the three Slovenian cases (see Josipovič 2003;, we might expect the higher fertility rates in areas with "higher relief energy". In this way the relatively higher fertility rates in mountainous municipalities fit perfectly into the aforementioned paradigm.…”

“…Additionally, the relevance and the extent of depopulation across the border region will be questioned as well. According to the theoretical expectation, the population reproduction rates in hilly regions are higher compared to flatlands (Josipovič, 2003;. So to experience depopulation in reproductively vibrant area, one have to assume high shares of outward migration.…”

The contribution presents findings from the research on a constitution of new ethnic identities in Alps-Adriatic region. The key question dealt here with was to which extent the recent demographical processes impact the peripheral, mountainous, and ethnically specific cross-border region between Slovenia and Italy. In lay and professional discourse there is still omnipresent mentality of extinguishing Slovene minority in Italy. Applying various demographical methods the article resolves the demographical processes and quantifies the extent of the local Slovene speakers. The author argues that the recent demographical processes of heavy depopulation tend to stabilize towards stagnation. Depopulation is stronger in the Slovenian part of the region, though the traditional Slovene-speaking areas in Italy aren't as threatened as the adjacent Friulian areas. New migration trends along with the generally low fertility contribute to changes in traditional dualistic structure and bring refreshment to remote parts of the border region as well.Izvleček: Prispevek predstavlja izsledke raziskave o konstituciji novih etničnih identitet v prostoru Alpe-Jadran. Temeljno vprašanje, ki ga prispevek razrešuje, je, na kakšen način aktualni demografski procesi vplivajo na prekomejno periferno gorsko območje, ki je zaznamovano tudi z etničnimi specifikami. V strokovnem in laičnem diskurzu je še vedno močno prisotna miselnost, da slovenska manjšina na italijanski strani meje izumira.Članek preko aplikacije različnih demografskih metod opredeli trenutne demografske procese in tudi kvantitativno oceni stanje slovenske manjšine in prebivalstva v tem območju sploh. Avtor ugotavlja, da recentni demografski procesi ne znižujejo števila prebivalcev tako močno kot v preteklosti. Depopulacija je sicer močnejša na slovenski strani meje, vendar na italijanski strani meje območja tradicionalne slovenske poseljenosti niso bolj ogrožena od sosednjih furlanskih. Novi migracijski trendi ob splošni nizki rodnosti pa prispevajo k spremembi tradicionalnih dualističnih razmerij in prinašajo demografsko osvežitev tudi v bolj odročne predele.

“…Even though Serbia and Slovenia differ in socio-economic aspects, both countries are facing similar demographical issues, and just like many other Eastern European countries they are experiencing a postponement of marriage and childbearing to higher ages and decline of fertility towards very low levels (Josipovič 2003;Penev 2010;Nikitović 2015;Josipovič 2016;Graovac Matassi and Talan 2021). Marriage rates, which are still considered to be an important demographical reproduction factors (Devedžić 2004;Lerch 2017;Rašević and Vasić 2017), are greatly influenced by the composition of the marriage market.…”

This paper explores marital matching patterns from the perspective of the partners' educational attainment, focusing on the link between gender asymmetry in education and educational hypergamy. In order to assess to what extent the tendency for women to marry men of higher educational status is related to the educational gender gap in Serbia and Slovenia, we calculate an index for women's educational advantage, and an index for the prevalence of educational hypergamy. Our results confirm the following: the growth of education is associated with an increase in female educational advantage; the relationship between female educational advantage and educational hypergamy is strongly negative; and there are no significant differences in assortative mating patterns between Serbia and Slovenia.

“…The first is a result of changing lifestyle, and the second a result of improvements in quality of life and healthcare. This is also influenced by migration because of selectivity by age; that is, it is primarily young people that decide to move, which means that migration results in a younger population in areas that people move to and an older population in areas that people move from (Josipovič 2003;Javornik 2006).…”

The Slovenian population is aging. In order to best adapt to this demographic change, it is necessary to face this issue and to study it from the perspective of various disciplines, including geography. This article therefore especially focuses on the spatial characteristics of population aging in Slovenia in addition to general characteristics. The findings show that population aging in Slovenia is not uniform; instead, there are large differences in population aging in Slovenia. In addition to general social processes such as falling birthrates and increasing life expectancy, these are primarily the result of spatial movement of the population. The conclusion presents some consequences that will arise in Slovenian territory and society in the future due to population aging.
