Summary/Abstract: The accelerated rates of demographic aging of the population of Bulgaria, although with some delay, inevitably affect the aging of the country’s labor resources. This negative process has a direct impact on the growing imbalance between labor supply and demand, on labor productivity, and last but not least on the reliability of the Bulgarian economy as a place to make new investments. Undoubtedly, such developments are directly related to two striking trends in the dynamics of the active population and the labor force in the country, observed since the beginning of the 21st century - the continuous increase in the share of the economically active population employed against the background of the constant decrease of the coefficient, showing the degree of Replacement of people aged 60-64 from the active age group of young people aged 15-19. The subject of this study is the regional manifestations of this phenomenon as part of the picture of the demographic aging of the population and labor resources in Bulgaria. Spatial links and dependencies between the indicators ofageing have been considered at thelevel of 265 Bulgarian municipalities for the period 2001-2018.
