National Human Development Report – Serbia 2022

The Human Development Report, "Human Development in Response to Demographic Change," shows that Serbia's population will decline. The state and society will have to formulate new responses to the demographic challenges ahead. This will mean formulating new goals in population policy, which will address the population's size and structure, like education, health, and employment. Achieving these goals will depend on the extent to which demographic considerations are considered in specific sectoral policies. In this report, we show what kinds of policies Serbia needs in the domains of labor, education, health, family, and urban and regional development to become a small nation that harnesses the potential of each individual.
