    The Croatian island of Braca began losing population early in the twentieth century due to a crisis in the wine industry, a trend that has continued to the present. Currently, the population is much older than the national average, & 15 communities are on the verge of extinction. When tourism was introduced to stimulate the local economy, some coastal settlements experienced a turnaround, but progress has been slower to reach inland communities. Nonetheless, it is expected that the 1991 census will reveal the first population increase in many years. 6 Tables, 2 Graphs, 10 References. Adapted from the source document.
