Analysis# Serbia Population Analysis
Serbia's population of 6.59 million represents a significant decline, having contracted 7.65% over the past decade—a steeper loss than the global average and reflecting widespread emigration and low fertility rates. The nation ranked 107th globally in 2024, down from higher positions historically, as its demographic trajectory diverged sharply from the peak growth of the 1980s when natural increase and immigration were still substantial. This sustained negative growth over 10+ years indicates structural demographic challenges that distinguish Serbia from most peer economies in Central/Eastern Europe.
