摘要：In the first part of the paper the author has presented the insufficiencies of statistical follow-ups of external migrations in the censuses from 1971 and 1991. The great difficulty in estimating the number of emigrated Croatian citizens emerges also from not recording statistically the trends and scope of migrations out of the country. Since, in addition, at the beginning of the period analysed people emigrated from Croatia in circumstances of war, the assessment of external migrations has become a very complex issue. Therefore, the author has also enumerated the main reasons for further emigration from Croatia in the nineties. In a demographic analytical assessment the number of external migrants was determined for every year observed which resulted in an overall contingent of approximately 130 thousand emigrants from the Republic of Croatia between 1991 and 1998. Thus the number of Croatian citizens working or residing abroad was increased from 285 000 (in 1991) to 415 000 (in 1998). In the end the size of the Croatian emigrant population was assessed annually and for each county separately.
