Abstract
One of the main roles of academic higher education is to create an educated and creative population which will fulfill the needs of a developing country based on human values that promote and contribute the strengthening of social cohesion and cultural values. The social dimension of academic education includes implicitly establishing structural assumptions in order to enlarge the chances of the young people to achieve academic education at universities in Serbia. The equal admittance, approach to higher education for each individual makes it easier to find employment and represents a powerful tool in diminishing poverty and social exclusion. All the strategies for developing education in Serbia emphasize the strong connection between education and economy which, on the one hand, determines demographical movements and growth. The concretization of the concept where demography, economy and academic education are strongly tied up was viewed by the means of questioning opinions and attitudes of students which cover their personal and professional movements after completing their academic studies
