In line with the above, the desire to leave Slovenia for more than six months has been increasing over the years. While 58% of young people in 2013 expressed at least some desire to move out (see Flere et al., 2014), this figure rises to 65% in 2018 (see Lavrič et al., 2019) and to 75% in 2020. The steady increase, although no longer coinciding with emigra- tion trends, is thus not surprising for the time being, as the number of people with no desire to emigrate abroad fell drastically from 35.1% to 25.2% between 2018 and 2020, when a visible decline in youth emigra- tion had already started to be recorded.
