Abstract

Na području Međimurske županije obitava gotovo trećina ukupnog broja Roma u Hrvatskoj. Međimurski su Romi uglavnom pripadnici skupine Bajaša, koja se na području Međimurja, iako ima i ranijih zapisa, u većem broju pojavljuje od sredine 19. stoljeća, uslijed promjena u ostatku Europe. Rad predstavlja prije svega pregled utjecaja romskog stanovništva na pozitivan demografski razvoj cijele županije do kraja 20. stoljeća, te njihovu ulogu u suvremenima kretanjima, obilježenu negativnim trendovima, ali i komparaciju određenih struktura ukupnog i romskog stanovništva. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako romsko stanovništvo do početka 21. stoljeća nije imalo izrazitog utjecaja na kretanja ukupnog broja stanovnika Međimurja. Uslijed negativnih demografskih trendova među autohtonim stanovništvom taj utjecaj sve više jača, s obzirom na iznimno povoljne demografske pokazatelje romskog stanovništva, zbog čega dolazi do povećanja udjela romskog stanovništva u ukupnom stanovništvu. Međutim, zbog iznimno negativnih pokazatelja u gospodarskoj i obrazovnoj strukturi, koji se sporo mijenjaju, daljnji rast broja romskog stanovništva mogao bi izazvati problem na mnogim poljima.

Abstract (english)

Almost one third of the total number of Roma population in Croatia lives in Medjimurje. Roma people in Medjimurje mostly belong to an ethnic group called Boyash, and first appeared in larger numbers in the mid-19th century - although there are earlier records due to the changes that affected the rest of Europe. This thesis is primarily a review of the impact that Roma population had on the County's positive demographic developments until the end of the 20th century, as well as of their role in contemporary demographic development marked by negative trends; but it is also a comparative analysis of certain structures of total and Roma populations. The research shows that the Roma population did not have a significant influence on general demographics until the beginning of the 21st century. Due to negative demographic trends among the indigenous population, the influence became greater as a result of extremely favorable demographic indicators among the Roma population, causing an increase of the percentage of Roma people in general population. However, due to extremely negative and slowly changing indicators in their economic and educational structure, further growth of the Roma population could cause problems in many areas.
