SloveniaThe article discusses statistical data published by the Slovenian government on the occasion of European Statistics Day, comparing Slovenia with other EU member states across five areas: population, education, labor market, quality of life, and youth in the EU. The data highlights several points: most households with children had access to financial support for annual holidays last year, with 90.9% of such households in Slovenia compared to 72.7% at the EU level. Slovenia has the second-highest percentage of young people (ages 20–24) enrolled in tertiary education (46.9%) compared to the EU average of 36.7%. Overall life satisfaction among Slovenians aged 16 and older was rated at 7.6 out of 10, the third-highest in the EU. Slovenia’s age structure was similar to the EU average. However, Slovenia had below-average employment rates for those working shorter hours (8.2% vs. 17.4% EU average) and the lowest risk of social exclusion among young people (10.6% vs. 24.2% EU average).
