Summary/Abstract: This paper will examine the issue of gender equality, as an important aspect of the development and democracy within Serbian society. The demographic cognitive concept, based on the analysis of statistical data of population and demographic processes, provides a comprehensive insight into the relevant aspects. A valuable cognitive opus is provided by examining age, time and spatial dimensions of gender patterns of behavior,focusingonthe specific demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Positive changes related to education and economic activity, started in the 1950s, established new issues about the highest standards of gender equality. Beside from the need to improve the women`s social status, considering educational, professional and marital characteristics the demographic approach also leads to the necessity to improve the issues concerning the position of the male population and the specificities of their behavior.
