Slovenia at bottom of EU in terms of birth rates

Poland (1.24) and Slovakia (1.25) are the only countries in the EU with lower birth rates than Slovenia, whereas the EU average, including Bulgaria and Romania, stood at 1.51 in 2005. France tops the list with 1.92 children per woman.

Women in Slovenia live 81.3 years on average, which is 7.2 years longer than men. The EU average stands at 81.5 and 75.4, respectively.

Slovenian women are usually also better educated than men. In the second quarter of 2006, 25.5% of women in Slovenia aged between 25 and 59 had a higher-education degree, whereas the share among men stood at 18.8%.

On the other hand, Slovenian women lag behind in computer skills, with as many as 47% of those aged between 16 and 74 being completely unfamiliar even with computer basics.

The EU average of both men and women with higher-education degree ranges between 23 and 24%, with Finland standing out in terms of women with higher education (42%).

As in other EU members, the unemployment rate in Slovenia is higher among women (6.1%) than among men (4.2%), while 11.8% of Slovenian women work part time. The average unemployment rate for women in the EU stands at 8.5%, whereas almost a third of women in employment do not work full time.
