THE WORLD WAR II DEMOGRAPHY: SLOVENIAN LITTORAL (1940-1945) IN COMPARISON WITH CENTRAL SLOVENIA.

The aim of this paper is to present the demographic and the historical consequences of the World War II in Slovenia and specifically in the Slovenian Litoral. These consequences are indicated as well by the gender structure of the human losses, since around 90 % of all human losses are being male, and by the age structure as well, since of more than 97,700 human losses in Slovenia - representing a loss of the population in the amount of 6.5 % - the percentage of people younger than 25, is amounting to well over a third of all fatalities. This research has also shown a different dimension, since it has pointed out the WW II historical specifics of the Slovenian Litoral in comparison to the Central Slovenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
