ZAGREB, 24 Oct, 2021- The Sixth Croatian Social Week, which was organised by the Catholic Church in the country, on Saturday adopted a declaration which underscores that Croatia is in a deep demographic crisis and calls on the authorities to take measures to halt negative trends.
The declaration, adopted at the end of the event that brought together about 200 participants, warns about a demographic failure in Croatia due to the intensive decrease in the number of newborns and demographic ageing.
The document says that the country lacks a long-term strategy and a supra-party policy to address the issue.
The declaration recommends that the population strategies should encompass pro-natalist and moderate migration policies.
The participants in the event concluded that in the future Croatia would have to cope to a greater extent with the issues regarding migrations.
They also call for more attention to be paid to expats coming back to Croatia.
