“…Serbia is faced with a significant mortality problem (Galjak, 2014(Galjak, , 2018b, and in particular, with the problem of premature mortality (Galjak, 2022a;Marinkovic, 2021), losing over half a million of potential years of life every year (Galjak, 2022b). This problem is further exacerbated by a combination of factors, including an aging population (Devedžić & Stojilković Gnjatović, 2015;Magdalenic & Galjak, 2016), high rates of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer (Milić et al, 2021), and challenges related to the health care system and public health expenditures (Galjak, 2014(Galjak, , 2018bRašević & Galjak, 2022).…”

Premature mortality, defined as death occurring before a predetermined chronological age, is a significant public health challenge in Serbia, compounded by an aging population, high rates of non-communicable diseases, and healthcare system challenges. This study introduces a novel indicator, the Median Age of Years of Life Lost (MeAYPLL), to assess the age distribution of premature mortality in Serbia and selected European Union (EU) countries during the pre-pandemic period (2000-2019). The findings reveal that Serbia is among the European countries with the highest rates of premature mortality, similar to other former socialist countries. However, the age distribution of premature deaths varies considerably across countries, influenced by factors such as the cause of death and population age structure. The results show that Serbia, in the period between 2017 and 2019, lost 539,591.3 years of potential life annually with Serbian MeAYPLL being 57.62 years in this period. The study underscores the importance of considering multiple dimensions of premature mortality, including its intensity, age structure, and geographical variations, for designing effective public health interventions. It also highlights the limitations of the MeAYPLL indicator, recommending its use in conjunction with other measures of premature mortality intensity for a comprehensive assessment.

Ovaj rad predstavlja prvi doprinos istraživanju rodnih razlika u obrascima kohortnog fertiliteta u Srbiji. Koristili smo posebno obrađene rezultate Popisa 2022. koji obuhvataju jednogodišnje kohorte žena rođenih 1940-1982. i muškaraca rođenih 1940-1977. godine. Koristeći stope progresije ka redovima rađanja (paritetima), ispitali smo promene i rodne obrasce završenog kohortnog fertiliteta iz perspektive obrazovnih razlika s obzirom na ulogu obrazovne ekspanzije u promenama fertiliteta poslednjih decenija. Analiza metodom dekompozicije pokazala je da je značajan porast bezdetnosti i pad progresije ka drugom detetu među kohortama rođenim posle 1960. godine ključni razlog pada završenog fertiliteta oba pola. Razvoj odnosa obrazovanja i fertiliteta doveo je do promena u obrazovnim diferencijalima fertiliteta kod oba pola, ali i do veoma izraženog rodnog jaza u obrascima ovih razlika. Konvergencija u završenom fertilitetu među različitim obrazovnim grupama u starijim kohortama muškaraca pretvorila se u divergenciju između niskoobrazovanih i više obrazovanih u mlađim generacijama, što je rezultiralo pozitivnim obrazovnim gradijentom u skorijem završenom fertilitetu muškaraca. Negativan obrazovni gradijent u završenom fertilitetu zabeležen je u svim kohortama žena, pri čemu se jaz između nisko i visokoobrazovanih udvostručio među mlađim u poređenju sa starijim kohortama. Razvoj obrazovnih razlika u bezdetnosti među kohortama doveo je do rodne konvergencije među visokoobrazovanim i divergencije među niskoobrazovanim u Srbiji, za razliku od procesa koji se odvijao u rodno egalitarnijim društvima. Nedostatak konvergencije u tranziciji ka drugom i trećem detetu među različitim obrazovnim grupama oba pola, što je posebno izraženo kod žena, sugeriše da što je osoba obrazovanija, to joj je teže da proširuje porodicu zbog nedostatka institucionalne podrške roditeljstvu i rodne jednakosti unutar porodice. Identifikovani obrasci završenog kohortnog fertiliteta u Srbiji potvrđuju teorijske pretpostavke i nalaze iz drugih država da u društvima sa izraženijom rodnom nejednakošću i politikama podrške porodici koje nisu dovoljno rodno i roditeljski senzitivne veći oportuni troškovi roditeljstva dovode do nižeg fertiliteta i obrnuto.
