Main statistical findings
Source: Eurostat (see dedicated web section: Europe 2020 headline indicators)
By reducing its GHG emissions in non-ETS sectors by 11.6 % between 1990 and 2015, 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. Slovenia has already met both of its education targets, with only 4.9 % of the population aged 18 to 24 leaving school early and 44.2 % of 30 to 34 year olds having tertiary educational attainment in 2016. In 2015, Slovenia was slightly closer to meeting its R&D expenditure and renewable energy commitments than the EU as a whole was to its overall commitments. After deteriorating continuously between 2008 and 2013, the employment rate increased to 70.1 % in 2016, putting it within 4.9 percentage points of its national target. Between 2008 and 2015, the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in Slovenia increased by 24 000, which translates to a gap of 64 000 people to its national target.
