This analytical publication evaluates the population development in Slovakia from 1945 until 2000. This time period has not been chosen coincidentally. With regard to the social development it is a closed post-war time period. From the demographic point of view it is a time period, which follows the end of a demographic transition in Slovakia what means that Slovakia has ranked among the demographically advanced countries.
The objective of publication is to characterise the reproduction trends for a longer time period, to judge their mutual relations and the relations with other components of the social development and also to characterise the tendencies, which lingeringly influence the population development.
