It is believed …show more content…

Croatia and Serbia belong to demographically oldest countries not only in Europe but in the world mainly due to decades long below replacement fertility accompanied by significant rise of life expectancy at birth in the last couple of decades and mostly by permanent emigration of people in the most vital age. Due to the last decade of migration, the age structure has altered severely and if we observe the populations of the two countries as a whole, during the last ten years Croatia and Serbia lost more than 5% of its population only because of migration.

Individuals and or groups may migrate for reasons such as economic, social, environmental, and political.

Immigration has never been an easy choice, but recently factors have made it easier. Immigrants, in my point of view, can be divided into two kinds, the first are people leaving their countries looking for a source of money and escaping the struggle of poverty, and the other kind are people looking for a peaceful life with no bombs damaging their hometowns every day, escaping wars and political persecutions looking for the freedom they have always been missing. I see that the immigration crisis nowadays is in its worst, as we can see, according to the UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency), there are 65.6 million displaced people worldwide,
