From 1 Ocober 2020 we use additional criteria for inclusion in the population of Slovenia for a part of the population due to an administrative change: The Residence Registration Act (OJ RS, No. 52/16), which entered into force on 13 August
2016, stipulates in the fourth paragraph of Article 53 that temporary departure from the territory of the Republic of Slovenia ceases four years after the introduction of the Act (unless it has ceased before then). Namely, temporary departures abroad were registered without time limits before 13 August 2016, while after this date the registration of a temporary address abroad lasts a maximum of 4 years. In view of the above, on 13 August 2020, temporary address abroad ceased to 22,248 individuals ex officio.
According to the existing statistical methodology, 18,500 of these individuals would be included in the population count on 1 October 2020. Using different additional data sources, especially those that define a person's activity status and using which we assume that a person is actually present in Slovenia, SURS eventually included fewer than 7,500 of these persons in the final population count (among them 97% Slovenian citizens and 3% foreigners). The majority of these residents most likely returned to Slovenia years or even decades ago, but failed to register their return at the administrative unit for whatever reason. The 2019-2020 increase is therefore partly due to this administrative change, mitigated by the use of additional data sources to determine actual presence in the country.

The total usual residence population  transmitted by the national statistical offices to Eurostat in the framework of the Usual Residence Population data collection may differ from those available in National Accounts, Labour Force Survey or in the survey on Income and Living Conditions. The difference is given by the population coverage (see metadata specific to each domain).

The total usual residence population  transmitted by the national statistical offices to Eurostat in the framework of the Usual Residence Population data collection may differ from those available in the rest of the Demographic domain. The difference is given by the population definition (see metadata specific to each domain).

All population statistics produced by SURS are register-based, so a person can only be included if they register. Additionally, 12-months' stay rule is applied. Not all population groups can be identified directly (or at all) from the register.
