Abstract

The scarce academic literature on former refugee population is partly a result of a shortage of statistical data after refugees’ obtaining citizenship of the host country. The article explores demographic and socio-economic effects of forced migration in Serbia. The focus is on the forced migrants who came to Serbia mainly in the 1990s from other former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) republics and the following domains are addressed: changes in number and origin, fertility, sex and age structure, education and economic activity of forced migrants in Serbia. The use of additionally processed 2011 Census data enabled extraction of the data on forced migrants and its comparison to relevant local/host population data. Comparison has been made to the data on forced migrants from the 2002 Census, where possible. Considering that the 2002 and 2011 Censuses were not conducted on the territory of the Autonomous Province (AP) of Kosovo and Metohija, data for the Republic of Serbia are presented without AP Kosovo and Metohija.
