Summary/Abstract: The migration from rural areas into urban areas has been happened for centuries and nowadays is a growing problem all over the world. The world population are still increasing. In 1961. were 3.1 billion people in the world but nowadays are 7.2 billion people and the forecasting shows that will be in the world 9.6 billion people in 2050. According to the data (FAOSTAT) the migration from rural areas to urban areas is much faster than the growth of population so that only 33 percent of the world's population will live in rural areas in 2050. The situation in the EU is even worse, the prognoses shows that it will remain only 17 percent of the population in rural areas in 2050. In this paper, we conducted a study of growth of population and rural - urban migration in Slovenia. The data shows, that only 38 percent of the population will live in rural areas in 2050. In Serbia forecast shows that it will be in 2050. only 28 percent of the population in the rural areas. Based on the facts and studied the factors impact on the population in urban areas, we predict what changes and consequences may result saturating of urban settlements. By concrete advice we suggest constructive solutions for a change of the direction of migration “from urban areas back to rural regions”.
