Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 7 ( 0 5 1 U- ABSTRACT Albania was noteworthy, not just for the isolationist policy of its government, or its domestic rigid policies applied to Europe’s poorest country, but because of its high life expectancy at birth. At the end of the eighties, life expectancy at birth passed the boundary of seventy, although the country’s GDP per capita was $ 2500 in 1990, the lowest in Europe (Madison 1995).This puzzled scholars, who either doubted the success of Albania, or because of the lack of firm information, speculated with different explanations (Watson, 1995). This research was initiated by this controversy in trying to first, estimate the scale of Albania’s success in improving life expectancy and document the mortality transition in Albania during the period 1950-1990.

This leads the author to argue that the specific rationale for the myth of many children, high fertility rates, and complex family structures in Albanian context, as elsewhere in patrilineal soci- eties, is an ideological elaboration of patriarchy.
