Ministry of Family Welfare and Demography (Serbia)
The Ministry of Family Welfare and Demography (Serbian Cyrillic: Министарство за бригу о породици и демографију, romanized: Ministarstvo za brigu o porodici i demografiju) is a ministry in the Government of Serbia, created by a vote of the National Assembly of Serbia on 26 October 2020.[1] Before that, similar Ministry of Family Welfare has existed between 1998 and 2001. At the time of the ministry's re-creation in 2020, it was noted that its purpose was to address issues relating to "family protection, marriage, population policy, family planning, the promotion and development of demographic policy, birth rate, and quality and life expectancy."[2] Ratko Dmitrović was appointed as minister two days later when Ana Brnabić's second cabinet was constituted. After his appointment as minister, Dmitrović said that Serbia's low birth rate should be targeted by both material incentives and by what he described as promoting "the cult of the family in the most positive sense of the word."[3] The ministry issued a statement in November 2021 that every fifth inhabitant of Serbia is over sixty-five and that every seventh is under fourteen.[4] Secretary of State and assistant ministersDuring Dmitrović's tenure as minister, there was one secretary of state: Milka Milovanović Minić. In addition, Marija Leković and Aleksandra Čamagić were assistant ministers.[5] Sectors of the ministryAs of January 2022, there were four sectors in the ministry of family welfare and demography:[6]
