| Summary: | Human capital is one of the key factors of economic and social development.
Namely, the growth potential of a territory is largely dependent on human
capital that is, on citizen’s creative potential and especially on their
education. Society with a better endowment of human capital has a greater
development potential. The subject of this paper is Serbia’s human capital
seen from the point of view of workforce education structure (20-64 age
group). In this paper we present spatial distribution of workforce, i.e. the
differences in workforce education levels and polarization of Serbian
territory in terms of human capital pool. The result is a typology of
municipalities in Serbia based on calculated values of average completed
education level - the EMN index. Mapping of the corresponding values was done
at the municipality level in order to get a clear distinction and a more
accurate picture of spatial disparities in human resources. [Projekat
