摘要：Socio-demographic studies are indicating an increasing tendency for the decrease in the share of the young population and an increase in the elderly population in the overall population of the Republic of Serbia. Namely, while the share of the young population (ages 0-19) in the overall population has almost been reduced by half in the span of half a century (41,6% in 1948 and 22,4% in 2002), the share of the elderly population (60 years and over) in the same period has increased 2,5 times (8,8%:22,6%). In addition, numerous demographic indicators are pointing more and more to a process of the intense aging of the population of Serbia. This paper presents the research results obtained by this author, which refer to the share of the student-age population, in percents, (aged 20-24) and the student population in the overall population of the Republic of Serbia. They confirm the existence of contrasting demographic tendencies in the regions of Central Serbia and Vojvodina (in the period between 1981 and 2002): while, on the one hand, one part of the student-age population is diminishing, on the other, the share of the student population in the overall population is, however, increasing. In the area of Kosovo and Metohija, contrasting tendencies can be noted, but with a completely different outcome: the share of the student-age population has continued to grow, while the share of the student population is decreasing. The noted tendencies once again confirm that demographic processes are specific in certain areas of the Republic of Serbia, considering their geographic, socio-economic, cultural and ethnic features.
