Abstract: Danube region, together with the South and Great Morava Region represents areas where it is concentrated the highest percentage of human resources of the Republic of Serbia, because in this area the largest cities are located (Belgrade and Novi Sad). Danube region of Republic of Serbia covers about 18% of the total territory of the Republic of Serbia. In this area lives almost 30% of the total population. The largest concentration of population is in the central part of the Danube region (from Backa Palanka to Ram), while the upper and lower Danube region, because of the border location, has more demographic problems than the central part. For the analysis of the current state of human resources in the work are used data from the Republic Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Serbia, the results of the Census, and the data of annual publications (Municipalities in the Republic of Serbia). We analyzed the changes in the population, and the population structure. It was made a detail analysis of gender and age structure of the population by calculating the median age of the population, age index and the index of youth, as well as the coefficient of load. With the increase in the coefficient of age, a decline in the coefficient of youth and the increasing average age of the population, there has been a problem of regional development in this area, because they are the human resources are bearers for sustainable development. With the analysis of the economic structure of the population, this points to the problems of an increase in the share of dependents and increasing the coefficient of load which creates a number of problems related to the economic viability of the area.
Key words: Human resources, the Danube region, depopulation, population aging
