Summary/Abstract: Technological innovations taking place at the beginning of the 21st century bring new opportunities for economic growth and employment, while creating risks for the part of population lacking knowledge and skills necessary for adapting to the changes in the labor market. analyses of international financial institutions on reshaping the labor market as a result of automation in manufacturing and services are used as a starting point for analyzing trends in the labor market and the quality and equity of the education system in Serbia. in addition to unfavorable educational profile of general population and extended period of transition from education to the world of work, attempts to improve human capital are impeded significantly by low quality and lack of equity in the education system, which prevents large number of children and youth, especially from the marginalized groups and poorer households, to acquire relevant knowledge and education. Challenges posed by innovation and improvements in technology require active response in the educational, labor market and social inclusion policies, which would allow more efficient improvements of human capital and social cohesion in Serbia in the 21st century.
