Census data were used in the analysis of the demographic and so-
cio-economic transformation of Mljet as absolute numbers (number of
inhabitants), the share of certain segments of the population relevant for
the analysis, or as relative indicators (education index, activity rate etc.).
Classifications (percentage) of the population according to population
composition are:
(1) age composition—young (0–14 years), adult (15–64 years), and el-

derly population (aged 65+);
(2) migration features—population that has always lived in the same

settlement and population that moved from other settlements in
the same municipality, other municipalities, other counties, or
from abroad;
(3) educational composition—population without primary educa-
(4) ctstiieooocmnnonp((t lation with income; and
(5) composition of the active population by sector of activity—pri-
mary, secondary, and tertiary sectors.

and unemployed persons; the population with income consisted of retired
persons and those with other sources of income; while the dependent pop-
ulation included all other economically inactive persons (See: Nejašmić,

forestry, and fishing) of group A according to the Statistical Classification
of Economic Activities, the secondary sector included groups B–E1, and the
tertiary sector groups F–U2 (CBS, 2007a). The analysis was based on the fol-
lowing combined indicators: (1) index of total population change; (2) age in-
