YOUTH 2020 - The position of young people in Slovenia

218 5. Enthusiasm about specific forms of living among young people is associated with current practices of spatial development and suburbanization of Slovenia, where dispersed settlement princi- ples are not in line with sustainable development. Despite the fre- quent citation of value orientations that are in line with the orien- tations of sustainable development, there are also strong deviant orientations, which indicates that the principles of sustainable development among young people are present, but not deeply in- tegrated into their value structure. 6. Data on the strong attachment of young people to the “domestic” living environment are supplemented with data on the low read- iness of older groups of young people for internal and transna- tional mobility. It is particularly surprising that young people’s willingness to move decreases with age. 7. Young people in larger cities (Ljubljana, Maribor) live in their par- ents’ households to a lesser extent than their peers outside larger cities. Due to rising real estate prices, young people in larger cities would be expected to live with their parents or rely on “family property” more than their peers from smaller cities or rural areas. In this context, we could talk about a higher degree of independ- ence among young people in larger cities, which is complemented by the fact that young people from larger cities also expect less help from their parents when solving the housing problem. 8. Comparing the data between 2010 and 2020, there is a noticeable increase in the number of tenants compared to higher “family property ownership” in 2010. The shift towards more frequent rental of real estate despite different housing preferences of young people can be explained by difficult access of young people and their families to financial resources for the purchase of real estate.
