Summary/Abstract: The economic circumstances in the past, an emphasized characteristic of a migratory region, as well as the later socio – economic circumstances that had a role of a push factor for the population, by themselves contributed for the negative demographic changes. Namely, in the past thirty years, the Pelagonia region faces a continuous decrease of the population and enters a stage of a deep demographic old age with which its population sustainability is brought to question. The changes of the demographic structures have and will have far reaching consequences on the possibilities for managing the human resources and providing demographic and economic vitality and revitalization of the region. According to the evaluations, the problem with an appropriate labor contingent, and with it appropriate workforce will be emphasized after the year 2016, when an increased outflow of population from the labor contingent is expected, which can not be compensated with a young population.
