Purpose of this work is to contribute to the knowledge about gender equality attitudes amongst young people in Croatia, or student population of the regional university to be more specific. The goal of this work was to question opinions amongst students from different course groups at the University of Zadar (archeology, geography, sociology, and maritime studies) about gender equality and certain aspects of family relationships. For work purposes, it was used the questionnaire that had been made according to the one from the research “Perception, experiences and attitudes about gender discrimination in the Republic of Croatia” including some questions concerning Croatian version of the standardized questionnaire WVS. A theoretical framework of this work is represented by newer theories of modernization, which study strengthening gender equality in the democratization process. Statistically processing the questionnaire results, it has been shown that there are significant differences concerning abortion, prostitution, homosexuality and gender equality considering the religious beliefs of the respondents, and the group of the studies respondents belong to. On the other hand, it has been shown that there are no significant differences among the students that grew up in larger or smaller areas when considering the desired number of children in the family, or preferred gender of the child, nor about gender equality attitudes.
