Two centuries of Malthus [Dva veka Maltusa].
The article is an endeavor to comparatively review classic and modern theories and/or theoretical concepts regarding relationship between population development and the overall sustainable development. On the second centennial anniversary of the rist 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.

Houses (families) in the 1455 census for Brankovica region [Kuce (porodice) u popisu Oblasti Brankovica 1455. godine].
The article presents the second part of a broader research of historic family in Serbia based on the 1455 fiscal census of the population in Brankovica region (the territory of today's Kosovo). 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 tax payers (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.

Albanians of the Sirinic district [Albanci Sirinicke zupe].
The article describes the historical background to the settlement of the region of Sirinic in Serbia, by concentrating on the Albanian immigration which developed from the 18th century. Today the district includes seven Serbian, four Albanian and five mixed settlements. This territorial and demographic distribution has remained relatively stable since the 19th century. In spite of a higher natural growth among the Albanians than among the Serbs, the proportion of Albanians only increased from 29% in 1931 to 33% in 1989: this is because the Albanians have continuously emigrated in great numbers for economic reasons and essentially to Kosovo, Western Macedonia and the Skoplje Valley. The author compares the different demographic regimes of these two ethnic communities cohabiting in a limited area; she also gives details concerning the origins of the Albanians and their distribution among clans.

System, tax policy and population policy [Sistem i politika poreza i populaciona politika].
System and tax policy may be used for numerous purposes. 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 analyzed 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.

Infant mortality by causes of death [Smrtnost odojcadi prema uzrocima smrti].
The rate of infant mortality in Yugoslavia remains high compared with European rates. The experience of many countries shows that it is relatively easy to reduce infant mortality through well targeted actions. Determining the structure of the causes of infant (and prenatal) mortality and morbidity is a first indispensable step towards such a goal. The author describes the changes in the distribution of the causes of death associated with the recent decrease in infant mortality observed in Yugoslavia. She stresses the gradual shift from the prevalence of exogenous causes and measures the progress that may still be made.
