Abstract: The analyses of population movements in the Republic of Croatia are characterized by depopulation features, which have been especially prominent since 1991. Natural and mechanical population movements contribute to total depopulation. Natural depopulation is mostly caused by diminution in the number of marriages, divorce increment as well as marriages without children. An empirical research on students’ population has been applied in our work in order to identify their attitudes towards marriage, family and children.The results point to students’ positive attitudes and the fact that these attitudes reflect their familystructure and their provenience (urban, rural). They associate their positive attitudes with the later entry into marriage as a consequence of social and economic factors.
