Sažetak
Over the next few decades, Slovenia’ s population will, similarly to the population of the EU, significantly change in both size and age structure. Ageing, the trend that has marked population development across Europe, will also affect Slovenia. Demographic change, caused by a declining fertility rate, a rise in life expectancy and low immigration, along with the ageing of the baby boomers (the generations between 1940s to 1960s), already presents a serious challenge for Slovenian policy-makers, firms and people ; bringing forth important economic, social and also political challenges. In 2005, the share of the population aged 65 or more represented 15.2 percent of the total population. By 2050, it is expected to rise to approximately 31 percent of the total population.
