Employment trends may vary at the regional, sub-regional (and other) levels, depending on various demographic, economic, geographic and other factors. Therefore, the differences in the employment and labor trends in the rural areas of the Republic of Serbia (compared to the same trends in the urban areas), for the relevant period 2015-2020, are going to be analyzed in the following paper. The differences observed in these regions clearly show the diametric differences between urban and rural regions, whereby it is important to note that greater opportunities are offered to residents of urban areas. Such opportunities continue to attract the population of rural areas, so that rural areas lose on their population, opportunities for (further) development, ability to attract funds for such development and, therefore, face further problems that will continue to multiply cumulatively. The paper presents relevant statistical data, whereas trends in population’s behavior can be noticed and expected, especially when it comes to employment and related topics (migration, education, overall quality of life, etc.). Such information can be of importance when creating various development strategies, but also in order to improve the quality of life at the state, regional or local level, while providing more opportunities in the field of labor. |
