<strong><strong>Popis</strong>i</strong> <strong>na</strong> <strong>Slovenskem</strong> <strong>1948</strong>-<strong>1991</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Popis</strong> <strong>2002</strong>Censuses <strong>in</strong> Slovenia <strong>1948</strong>-<strong>1991</strong> and Census <strong>2002</strong>PREBIVALSTVOPOPULATIONDEMOGRAFSKE ZNAČILNOSTIStarostno-spol<strong>na</strong> sestava prebivalstva Slovenije od"idealne" sheme močno odstopa. Razlog so predvsemizgube (umrli <strong>in</strong> pogrešani) v obeh svetovnih voj<strong>na</strong>h,ki sta prebivalstvo <strong>na</strong>še države tudi številčno močnoprizadeli.Številčno razmerje med moškim <strong>in</strong> ženskim prebivalstvompostaja v Sloveniji uravnoteženo: deloma zaradipriseljevanja, deloma pa zaradi izumiranja tistihgeneracij, v katerih so vojne povzročile <strong>na</strong>jvečjenesorazmerje med spoloma.Ob popisu <strong>1991</strong> je bilo žensk za 3 % več od moških;večje število žensk kot moških je z<strong>na</strong>čilno za vsepopise v Sloveniji. Leta 1880 je bil delež moških<strong>na</strong>jvečji (49 %), <strong>na</strong>jmanjši pa leta <strong>1948</strong>, ko je bil zaradivečjega števila umrlih v 2. svetovni vojni komaj47-odstoten. V zadnjih desetletjih je razmerje medštevilom moških <strong>in</strong> žensk ustaljeno: 48,5 % moških <strong>in</strong>51,5 % žensk.Ker je prebivalstvo Slovenije staro (delež prebivalstva,starega 65 let <strong>in</strong> več je sorazmerno velik <strong>in</strong> deležmladih skromen) je vpliv procesa staranja prebivalstva<strong>na</strong> počasno rast števila prebivalstva pri <strong>na</strong>s že dolgoopazen.DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICSThe age and sex structure of Slovenia's population differs alot from the »ideal«. The reason is ma<strong>in</strong>ly the loss of people(dead and miss<strong>in</strong>g) dur<strong>in</strong>g both world wars, which considerablyaffected the number of Slovenia’s population.The ratio between men and women is becom<strong>in</strong>g balanced:partly because of immigration and partly because of dy<strong>in</strong>gout of generations most affected by the two world wars.At the <strong>1991</strong> census there were 3% more women than men;surplus of women over men is characteristic for all censuses<strong>in</strong> Slovenia. The share of men was the highest <strong>in</strong> 1880(49%) and the lowest <strong>in</strong> <strong>1948</strong>, when due to a large numberof men dy<strong>in</strong>g dur<strong>in</strong>g World War II it was only 47%. Inrecent decades the ratio between men and women has beenconstant: 48.5% men and 51.5% women.Because the population of Slovenia is old (the share of peopleaged 65 or more is relatively large, while the share ofyoung people is small), the <strong>in</strong>fluence of population age<strong>in</strong>gon a slow growth of population has been characteristic for along time.Povpreč<strong>na</strong> starost prebivalstva po spoluMean age of population by sex<strong>Popis</strong> / Census<strong>1948</strong> 1953 1961 1971 1981 <strong>1991</strong>SKUPAJ 30,7 31,1 32,1 33,3 34,3 35,9 TOTALMoški 29,7 29,8 30,6 31,5 32,5 34,1 MenŽenske 31,6 32,3 33,4 34,8 36,0 37,6 WomenSTAT IS TI Č NI URAD REPU BLIKE SLOVENIJESTATISTICAL OFFICE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA13
