| Summary: | The restrictive reproductive model in Eastern Serbia, which appeared in pre-
industrial rural society and without of sufficient development potential
that would lead to the redefinition of ethical and general social norms, was
in many ways similar to industrialized and urbanized societies. The
expansive spread of the restricted model of reproduction was atypical in
relation to the verme, place and conditions in which it appeared, and beyond
all the theoretical postulates of the demographic transition. The paper
analyzes the dynamics of change in both components of the natural population
movement at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century and
considers the ethnodemographic, ecocultural and socioeconomic context of
birth and mortality, which interrelationship indicates the stages of the
demographic transition. In addition to objective problems related to the
quality of statistical data, the regional demographic differentiation of
changes in birth mortality rates indicates a certain correlation between the
intensity of the decline in birth and the ethnic structure of the
population. |
