Summary/Abstract: The birth of seven billionth citizen of the world draws attention to the divergent demographic trends in national, regional and continental level. Those trends are evident through extensive natural reproduction and population expansion in Africa, Latin America and Asia, and through depopulation and population aging in Europe, North America and Australia. World population number is increasing for 1 billion almost every decade, which has numerous repercussions on the environment, eradicating hunger and poverty, political tensions and conflicts, and survival of future generations. Serbia is today among the countries facing a population decline and fear of population extinction.
