At the time of the ministry's creation, it was noted that its purpose was to address issues relating to "family protection, marriage, population policy, family planning, the promotion and development of demographic policy, birth rate, and quality and life expectancy."[2]

After his appointment as minister, Dmitrović said that Serbia's low birth rate should be targeted by both material incentives and by what he described as promoting "the cult of the family in the most positive sense of the word."[3] The ministry issued a statement in November 2021 that every fifth inhabitant of Serbia is over sixty-five and that every seventh is under fourteen.[4]

During Dmitrović's tenure as minister, there was one secretary of state: Milka Milovanović Minić. In addition, Marija Leković and Aleksandra Čamagić were assistant ministers.[5]
