On the second centennial anniversary of the first essay that initiated numerous discussions regarding this relationship, it cannot be said that the scientific elite is any nearer the consensus. Not only that the hypothesis of Malthus, Neo-Malthusians and Marxist thinkers are being built upon, but completely new ideas regarding this relationship are springing up. Disregarding the ideological differences but placing emphasis on the technological discrepancies prevailing to this day, the article also indicates that these apparently irreconcilable theories can permeate and complement each other. The Malthusian theory could be valid in a peasant society, but the socialists pointed to its flows in the industrial society. The Neo-Malthusians modernized the teachings of Malthus and in the "Limits to Growth" we find a more exact support to the fears of Neo-Malthusians. The theo1y of E. Boserup provides not only a consistent explanation of the relationship between population growth so far and sustainable development but also points to the essence of theoretical differences. On the short run, at a certain technological level (that is, manner of production) everybody is in the right: constant growth in population ultimately results in declining yields (excess population). On the long run, critical mass of population creates a new technological level which, in the beginning, requires higher population density (new "laws" of the population).

Processing of the empirical data following theoretical and historical analysis of agricultural family in the Middle Ages as a typical form of domestic life in the past, has brought totally unexpected results. Contrary to the usual scientific understanding of old Serb family as a large patriarchal, numerous community of a father and his descendants and relatives (both along horizontal and vertical lines), classification and numerical analysis derived from the empirical findings of this specific census have pointed that small or independent groups prevailed. When, however, the analysis is made on the aggregate level, the results are quite the opposite. Namely, though small individual groups were more numerous, a greater portion of taxpayers (adult, economically active, primarily male, population) registered in the villages in the document were gathered in more complex family communities (brotherhoods and paternity). By type, that is, internal composition of members, complex domestic unions were most often the alliances between two brothers. This conclusion corresponds to the findings of international anthropological and historical demographic studies.

Its geographic boundaries almost match the administrative borders of the commune of Štrpce. It is first mentioned in Serb manuscripts of the first half of the XIV century. The census taken in 1455 by the Turks shows a relatively high density of Serb population. The Albanians immigrated to the Sirinić district from northern Albania after the second mass migration of Serb population in 1737. They came from north and east, from southern parts of Kosovo, Kačanička gorge and the Valley of Skoplje. A larger-scale settlement of Albanians into the Šara mountain region was prevented by massive Islamization of native Serb population in the districts of Gora, Opolje and Sredska. Thus, a multi-ethnic buffer zone was formed during Turkish reign which has been basically preserved until today. For this particular reason the region has attracted interest of many domestic and foreign researchers ever since early XIX century. Elaboration of two multi-disciplinary scientific research projects by the Institute of Geography "Jovan Cvijić" of the Serb Academy of Science and Arts in the period from 1989 to 1994 was based on the same considerations. One of the projects is fully concerned with the Sirinić district and the author of this paper was asked to study migrations and the origins of Albanian population as well as to organize and conduct a population census in the commune of Štrpce. Immigration of Albanians to the Sirinić district took place in several phases which ultimately led to the formation of five mixed Serb-Albanian settlements located between a group of four homogenous Albanian and seven such Serb settlements. Thus, a relatively stable ethnic and geographic structure was formed as early as in the XIX century. Its territorial and demographic proportions did not substantially change regardless of all tumultuous historical and political events that had since taken place. A more detailed analysis shows that the share of Albanians in total population of the district rose from about 29% in 1931 to only 33% in 1989 in spite of the natural increase in population in excess of 30 per thousand ever since the early 1980s. However, demographic growth of Albanian population remained much below the level of the biological reproduction rate due to intensive emigration i.e., a negative migratory balance ranging from 21.8 per thousand in 1961 to 26.5 per thousand in 1989. The causes for emigration were economic and, for decades, bound toward Kosovo, Western Macedonia and the Valley of Skoplje. Emigration to Turkey began in late XIX century, resumed during the Balkan Wars and was recorded again in the early 1980s (encouraged by the Balkan Treaty signed by the FPRY, Greece and Turkey) but did not much affect total demographic movement of Albanians in the Sirinić district. Economic emigration of population to Switzerland and Germany has been growing from the 1960s onward. This paper also reviews parallel existence and functioning of two crucially different homeostatic demographic systems - the Albanian and the Serb - in the same compact geographic environment. The paper also points to the preserved awareness of a fixed (tribal) affiliation and finally displays a detailed review of migratory dynamics and origins of Albanian population, number of houses (families) and the number of members of each clan in 1989.

That is, especially, the case with contemporary tax systems which are, among other features, based at the synthetic (global) taxation of the economic capacity of the natural persons. Besides the basic, fiscal, many other goals, may be reached through the taxation, including those which fall in the scope of the population policy. In this paper, modern tendencies have been analysed in achieving the goals of the population policy, which provide solutions in respect of the following tax instruments: personal income tax, corporate income tax, property tax and turnover tax. It has been emphasized that relatively numerous and differentiated possibilities exist in respect of the annual personal income tax and far less, with the other forms of taxation.   Keywords: tax system; fiscal policy; population policy Journal: Stanovnistvo Pages: 81-104 Volume: 36 Issue: 1-2 Year: 1998 Month: June DOI: 10.2298/STNV9802081R File-URL: https://stnv.idn.org.rs/STNV/article/view/396 File-Function: Abstract page File-Format: text/html File-URL: https://stnv.idn.org.rs/STNV/article/download/396/350 File-Function: Full text File-Format: application/pdf Handle: RePEc:eto:stanov:v:36:y:1998:i:1-2:id:396 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Jasna Milanković Author-Workplace-Name: Federal Bureau of Statistics, Belgrade (Serbia) Title: Infant Mortality by Cause of Death Publication-Status: Published Abstract: Infant mortality is still a major problem in our country as its level has remained relatively high by European standards. This points to the need for better preventive measures particularly as regards infant mortality and other adverse consequences of pregnancy, as key indicators of health and health care for mother and child. Namely, the analysis of movement in infant mortality in low mortality countries shows that it can be decreased relatively easily if certain social and health care measures are undertaken. For that reason, it is necessary to engage in permanent organized research to explain and measure both the relative impact of individual factors or groups of factors in our country which are significant in terms of infant mortality and their mutual relationships. We should also try to gain from the experiences of other countries which had already made progress in this respect. One of the elements of prevention is certainly the analysis of causes of infant morbidity and mortality primarily during the pre-natal period with the aim of specifying the most frequent causes of death to enable their elimination and to induce a subsequent decline in infant mortality. Besides showing the efficiency of health service activities, data on causes of infant death also point to the specific measures that should be undertaken and may be used as a base for planning and programming the development of health services, i.e. implementation of health policy as part of the population policy. With the decline in infant mortality in our country there has also been registered a change in the composition of diseases as the most frequent cause of death. During the initial observation period when the general level of infant mortality was exceptionally high, the share of infectious diseases and those of the respiratory system was very large. These deaths were mainly induced by exogenous factors, that is the diseases which the society in general and health services in particular could most easily have checked both by measures to improve the general living conditions and by preventive and curative health care measures. The period from 1989 to 1996 is characterized by endogenous causes of infant mortality primarily during the neonatal period and have to do with the constitutional features of the live-born children, congenital anomalies, premature birth, respiratory distress, etc. Thus, from the socio-medical point of view, the primary causes of infant mortality in this period are genetically induced or can be attributed to the mother in labour birth which modern men and modern medicine cannot influence to a larger extent. The analysis of infant death frequency by group of causes of death points that there still exist possibilities of eliminating the exogenous causes of death (as the same causes prevail in the socio-economically least developed regions of the country). Besides, some improvement can also be expected in the area of endogenous mortality (improvement in pre-natal diagnostics and other measures of health care for pregnant women and those who have just given birth, better conditions for child delivery and application of modern techniques to care for the prematurely born children. The semanatal mortality is probably the major socio-medical problem in our country both because it accounts for the highest percentage in neo-natal mortality and because it displays an almost negligible downward tendency. This justifies another request - for a more extensive and comprehensive analysis of this problem as well as for participation of other scientific disciplines besides medicine. Among the leading causes of semanatal mortality in the most recent observation period are premature birth, congenital anomalies, respiratory distress syndrome and intrauterine hypoxia and asphyxia at birth.

These data are used to serve the operative needs of the epidemiological corps in order to control contagious diseases within the district. They are analysed to obtain an insight into the problem of contagious diseases in general, and each individual disease in particular, while monitoring the distribution of diseases by gender, age and commune. In the period from 1991 to 1996 no person in Belgrade was down with a particularly dangerous contagious disease. The lowest number of the diseased was registered in 1991 (14788) and the highest in 1994 (27368). In 1996, the number of the diseased was higher by 33% than in 1991. Among the most widely spread contagious diseases was chicken pox (its share ranging from 22.5% to 54.6%), contagious diarrhea (from 7.4% to 17.3%), salmonellosis (from 2.9% to 6.1%), angina (from 2.6% to 5.6%). In the period reviewed, the above four diseases were among the ten most frequently incurred contagious diseases. In the course of 1993, measles fell within the group of ten and acquired epidemic proportions. The disease affected 3524 inhabitants of Belgrade (44. 7% children below 14 years of age and 32% young people from 15 to 19 years of age). The epidemic was caused by the discontinuation of regular vaccination of children against measles caused by the shortage of imported vaccination and by population migration. In the same year, the epidemic of rubella also broke out. The epidemic extended to 1994 and 1995. A breakdown of the diseased by gender ranged from 51.0% to 52.9% for males and from 47.1 % to 49.0% for females. Majority of the diseased were in the age groups 5-9 and 0-4 years while the least number of the diseased were among the aged. The youngest population was most frequently affected by chicken pox (from 35.6% to 69.4% of the overall number of those stricken by the disease), contagious diarrhea (from 4.5% to 17.5%), salmonellosis (from 3.1% to 7.4% ), angina (from 3.4% to 9.7%) and scarlet fever (from 3.1% to 7.3%). During the period reviewed, 69 people died from contagious diseases. Mortality from contagious diseases was lowest in 1992 and 1993 (3.1 and 3.4 per 1,000,000). It gradually rose to reach the highest value in 1996 (12.6% per 1,000,000). The largest number of people affected was reported in the communes of Novi Beograd, Zemun and Čukarica.
