- Data from June 2018. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables. Planned article update: September 2019.
This article is part of a set of statistical articles on Europe 2020 strategy, focusing on the situation in Slovenia.
Main statistical findings
By reducing its GHG emissions in non-ETS sectors by 6.7 % between 1990 and 2016, Slovenia remained within its target to limit increases to 4 % by 2020. Since 2009, the country has continuously met its energy efficiency target, which caps primary energy consumption at 7.3 Mtoe. Negative developments in R&D expenditure and in renewable energy consumption over the past few years put Slovenia further away from meeting its respective national targets than the EU as a whole. Slovenia has already met both of its education targets, with only 4.3 % of the population aged 18 to 24 leaving school early and 46.4 % of 30 to 34 year olds having tertiary educational attainment in 2017. After deteriorating continuously between 2008 and 2013, the employment rate increased to 73.4 % in 2017, putting the country within 1.6 percentage points of its national target. Between 2008 and 2016, the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in Slovenia increased by 10 000, translating to a gap of 50 000 people to its national target.
