The Institute for Development and Innovation has been founded by researchers in the field of economics with the mission to create economically independent individuals.
The main idea and vision of the Institute for Development and Innovation are to establish a developed and democratic society based on equal chances for all.
The Institute for Development and Innovation develops, advocates for, and implements economic policies.
It is accomplished through projects that are organized within three main programs of the Institute: 1) Youth, migrations and depopulation; 2) Public finances and Public administration; 3) Green economy.
The activities conducted by the Institute within the programs are preparation of economic analysis, research, education and advocacy of economic policies based on collected data.
PROGRAMS CONDUCTED BY THE INSTITUTE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION
Youth, Migrations and Depopulation
The main focus of the Youth, Migrations and Depopulation Program is the analysis of the economic effects youth migrations have on Serbia and the region. The program Youth, Migrations and Depopulation aims to observe all positive and negative effects of the migrations phenomenon, as well as how to create and implement policy recommendations in how to deal with migrations.
The catalyst of this program was project Cost of Youth Emigration through which the Institute developed a methodology for the cost of youth emigration analysis in Serbia and regional countries. Based on this unique methodology all effects of youth migrations in Serbia and the region were perceived, based on which further economic policy papers were developed.
Projects implemented under this program are:
