YOUTH 2020 - The position of young people in Slovenia
32 STRUCTURE OF THE VOLUME The volume is structured in line with thematic sections addressed by the commissioned Mladina 2020 study and covers a wide span of topics tra- ditionally addressed by decennial studies on Slovenian youth, as well as topics currently very high on the priority list of public authorities and various other actors (e.g. digitalisation).

The fourth chapter focuses on the increasingly relevant topic of health and wellbeing of youth, and we address the most important aspects of health satisfaction, young people’s perception of health, lifestyles and habits, and mental health. Housing and a sustainable environment have created many frustrations for young people and are examined in the fifth chapter, where we discuss the crucial changes in these fields, focusing mostly on the perception of the housing problem, young people’s accommodation preferences, and the characteristics of youth housing.
