It is honor to invite you to attend a lecture of our colleague Milena Sekulić as part of the cycle of lectures by new researchers at the Institute of Social Sciences.
The subject of lecture is the main characteristics and changes of marriage and cohabitation in the territory of AP Vojvodina, viewed through the prism of demographic trends and socio-geographic events.
The lecture is focused on changes in marriage patterns that lead to changes in the family structure. They are manifested in the form of a change in marriage, an increase in divorces, marriage postponement and a population decrease with lower birth rates, postponement of births and an aging population. The modern (nuclear) family is also affected by the modern way of life, which implies a changed position of women. The lecture aims to point out the importance of changes in the family structure and the consequences that these trends of marriage and cohabitation bring to the demographic scene of Vojvodina. Vojvodina stands out as a unique area on European soil, with an extraordinary concentration of different ethnic groups. The interculturality of this area was created by the waves of settlement of numerous peoples, which resulted in a significant share of mixed marriages, and additionally imposes the need for research into the characteristics and changes of marriage in the population of Vojvodina.
The aim of this lectures is promoting new researchers and familiarization with their previous work.
