Emigrants’ education similar to that of the entire population of Slovenia
36,110 people immigrated to Slovenia in 2020; nearly two thirds of them were aged 25–64. Among these, nearly 24% had basic education or less, 56% had upper secondary education and 21% had tertiary education.
In the same year 17,745 people emigrated from Slovenia; 70% of them were aged 25–64. Among them, just under 21% had basic education or less, 61% had upper secondary education and 19% had tertiary education.
45% of immigrants with Slovenian citizenship aged 25–64 had tertiary education, while among foreign immigrants the share of tertiary educated was significantly lower: 12%. Among emigrants in the same age group, the difference was very similar: 40% of emigrants with Slovenian citizenship had tertiary education, while about 10 % of foreign emigrants were tertiary educated.
The education structures of Slovenian and foreign citizens (aged 25–64) who emigrated in 2020 were similar to the education structures of these two groups among the population of the same age.
Among those who immigrated to Slovenia in 2020, 313 held a doctorate of science; among emigrants, 137 had attained this level of education.
