Rómska populácia na Slovensku a kohortná plodnosť rómskych žien podľa výsledkov sčítania obyvateľov, domov a bytov 2011

Abstract

Romanies in Slovakia are in many ways specific populations. Owing to their ethnicity and especially a degree of isolation from the majority, it is still possible to identify many differences in reproductive behaviour in the Roma population. Probably the one mentioned most is the fertility of Roma women. The paper analyses fertility from a cohort perspective in the population of women of Roma nationality based on data from the 2011 Population and Housing Census. It focuses on the development of cohort fertility, women by parity, and parity progression ratios. The paper also points to possible differences in the cohort fertility of Roma women by marital status, educational attainment, economic activity, and place of residence.
