In Serbia, new approaches to tap talent and tackle tepopulation

Over the next decade, Serbia’s population could decrease by 6.7 percent—the steepest decline in the Western Balkans, according to a study commissioned by UNDP.

Tackling depopulation has historically prompted fertility policies that provide financial incentives for families to have more children. But when children grow up they may still leave. This has led UNDP to work in radically different ways to address this complex challenge and design integrated solutions to tackle depopulation holistically.

“Using the studio approach, we helped Serbia come up with a strategic vision and a ‘top 10 list’ of actionable interventions to help the country get there,” UNDP.
