In Slovenia, quite a few researchers have studied fertility and suicide, but rarely have the connections between both phenomena been made. The author aims to overcome simplified explanations of falling fertility and rising suicide rates by studying population dynamics as a socially relevant issue both at the Slovenian as well as the global level. She studies fertility and suicide by focusing on the historical development of population issues, recent theoretical population analyses and demographic statistics. Fertility and suicide are analysed from the viewpoint of approaches developed in the social sciences and humanities. In the second part of the monograph, these approaches are applied to fertility and suicide trends in Slovenia and press media reports on both issues.By providing an overview of the history of studying fertility and suicide in Slovenia and abroad, the author has concluded that most approaches to fertility and suicide are grounded on the premises of the modernisation theory. Nevertheless, she was not discouraged to study alternative approaches to fertility and suicide that, according to researchers in the humanities, do not necessarily have a lower explanatory potential. V slovenski javnosti obstaja kar nekaj del, ki obravnavajo rodnostno in samomorilno vedenje, vendar se proučevalci obeh oblik vedenja niso podrobneje ukvarjali s proučevanjem obeh pojavov skupaj. Avtorica poskuša preseči poenostavljene razlage padanja rodnosti in zviševanja samomorilnosti ter razčlenjuje oblikovanje prebivalstvene dinamike kot družbeno pomembne teme na ravni Slovenije kot tudi na širši, globalni ravni. Problematiko obravnava tako z vidika zgodovinskega razvoja prebivalstvenega vprašanja kot tudi z vidika sodobnejših teoretskih razprav o prebivalstvu in demografskih statistikah. Rodnost in samomorilnost proučuje v luči družboslovnih in humanističnih pristopov, ki jih v drugem delu aplicira na trende rodnosti in samomorilnosti v Sloveniji in poročanje tiska o obeh pojavih.
