In the first chapter, the study provides a brief summary of trends in basic demographic processes in Slovakia in the last fifteen post-revolutionary years. A separate part of the text addresses regional heterogeneity and draws our attention to several extreme differences according to chosen indicators. The study also offers the most recent data on population, family, and household structure. It points out the possible consequences of ongoing changes while focusing on aging processes and gender issues. The paper is based on various data which are presented in graphs and charts. In another part, an analysis of increasing social differences between families and households is included. Significant changes in the development and structure of the population have an impact on many social and economical spheres of society. They influence not only the systems of health care and social welfare, but also the labour market structure, education system, and housing policy. In the conclusion, the authoress attempts to clarify the public debate about these issues and to formulate challenges for Slovak public policy.
