The role of human factor in the development of agriculture in Montenegro

In this paper, the authors have started from the analysis of existing human resources qualification and age structure of the active labour force. Basic research method is deduction method, because they start from the general towards special and individual, with the aim to bring human factor and development of agriculture in Montenegro into connection. Upon having insight into the existing situation of the human factor, the authors can conclude that there is an obvious discrepancy between demographic and economic centres. Expressed migration of the population from the north towards the south and from villages to cities brought the development of agricultural production into question. When the human factor engaged in agriculture is concerned, old population and elderly households prevail, which is a serious threat to the development, because depopulation and "senilization" caused abandoning villages, deagrarization and space devastation.
