Serbia’s population decline can be partially attributed to economic uncertainties and shifting social norms, where younger generations prioritize their careers and personal development over early family formation. Additionally, Serbia faces a significant health challenge, with high mortality rates from non-communicable diseases such as heart disease and cancer, which further exacerbate the population decrease.
