YOUTH 2020 - The position of young people in Slovenia

Education, training and learning mobility  111 The overall willingness of young people to move to another continent has also increased significantly compared to Youth 2010 survey (by 13.2%). The fact that this is mainly due to an increase in young people’s international mobility is confirmed by their willingness to move to an- other place within the same country, where the proportion of those who would be willing to do so increased from 67.6% to 73%, i.e., by only 5.4%. However, it should be borne inmind that the willingness to move within the same country was already at a relatively high level in 2010. With a relatively higher increase in the willingness to move to another Europe- an country, the willingness to move within Europe is thus on a par with the willingness to move within Europe in 2020. In this context, it is worth underlining the fact that the mass exodus of young people – especially the most educated, to which we bore witness until 2017 – is gradually slowing down. However, it will take more time for this to start to be reflected in a willingness to move abroad, as well as a positive trend in some other indicators of young people’s well-being on the labour market and in society at large.
