摘要：The initiators of demographic development in Serbia and Montenegro are the Center for demographic research (founded in 1962) within the Institute of social sciences in Belgrade,the Demographic society of Yugoslavia (established in 1990) and the Institute for Demographic of the Faculty of Geography,Belgrade University. The Center for demographic research and the Demographic society of Yugoslavia issue the well-known scientific magazine `Population` which has been published since 1963. Within the above mentioned Faculty,besides the section already formed at the postgraduate (master) studies,the department of demography (four-year studies) started its work as the first of the kind in the academic year of 1999-2000 when the first generation of students enrolled. The Institute for Demographic and the department of demography were established in the middle of 2002. Demography (stemmed from the Greek words demos-people and grapho-write) is considered a young science. The term `demography` was introduced into scientific literature in 1855 by a French naturalist and statistician A. Guillard (1799-1876).1 As an independent science demography was constituted in the 20th century,2 long after establishing geography and its discipline called population geography which implies population research. Considering the fact that population is the main factor of forming and transforming geographical environment,geography and demography,as individual sciences,are connected in many ways. They are in many segments mutually entwined.3.
