Social and demographic challenges in Slovenia
Overview
Slovenia is facing several distinct social and demographic issues. Recent data indicates a sharp rise in population stress levels, with approximately 44% of the population reporting frequent stress. This represents a 13-percentage-point increase from the previous year, surpassing both European and global averages. Primary drivers for this stress include work, health, and family concerns.
Additionally, the country is dealing with significant levels of housing vacancy and skepticism toward scientific institutions. Data shows that Slovenia has one of the highest proportions of unoccupied dwellings among OECD countries, often due to elderly owners being unable or unwilling to rent out family homes. Furthermore, nearly half of the population perceives scientists as narrow-minded, a rate significantly higher than the European average.
