YOUTH 2020 - The position of young people in Slovenia

Education, training and learning mobility  115 7. The influence of factors such as parental education, upbringing style, etc. on education points to the importance of young peo- ple’s socio-economic background or home environment in gener- al and, consequently, to the role of public schooling in ensuring equal educational opportunities. 8. Young people’s experience with learning mobility is still relative- ly uncommon, with only 23% of young people saying they have already completed part of their education abroad. On the other hand, there has been a 9% increase in this indicator compared to Youth 2010, which represents a significant shift towards strength- ening learning mobility. 9. The predominant type of learning mobility is short-term (51%). On the other hand, 7.7% of young people have had a part of their education abroad lasting more than three months. 10. More than half of the young people surveyed would like to partic- ipate in education abroad possibly, probably, or definitely in the future (54.1%). This is an increase of 7.3% compared to Youth 2010, which is a significant shift towards a growing awareness of the importance of learning mobility. 11. Just under two-thirds of trips abroad last up to one month, with holidays and travelling being the main reasons for going abroad (53.5%). 12. The level of young people’s willingness to move to another Euro- pean country and to move to another continent has increased sig- nificantly. The willingness to move to another municipality with- in the same country has also increased to a lesser extent. 13. The willingness to move out of Slovenia for more than six months is increasing and is already at 75% in 2020. The biggest increase is recorded in the period when the trend of young people moving abroad started to fall sharply (from 2018 to 2020).
