摘要：Migration from rural to urban areas begun in the period between the two world wars, as a result of launching economic and cultural transformation of the former Yugoslav state. The culmination was reached in the first decades after World War II due to development of industrialization and urbanization within the society. An additional incentive for mass migration from rural to urban areas was achieved by strengthening the role of urban centers in the commercial, economic, cultural and educational terms, starting in the sixth decade of the 20th century.
