Social inequality and poverty in Serbia

Overview

Reports indicate rising social inequality and poverty in Serbia. Advocacy group Initiative A11 stated that over one-third of the population struggles to cover basic monthly expenses, noting a significant gap between median net salaries and the actual cost of living. The group highlighted that housing has become largely unaffordable and criticized government social policies as unsustainable, short-term measures used to secure political trust.

On an individual level, humanitarian appeals have brought attention to the extreme poverty and isolation of marginalized citizens, including the elderly living in dilapidated conditions with minimal resources.
