YOUTH 2020 - The position of young people in Slovenia

Young people, housing, and sustainable environment  215 This figure complements data showing that young people living in cit- ies also expect less help from their parents in solving their housing is- sues compared to their peers outside larger cities. 75.1% of young people living in larger cities expect help from their parents in solving the hous- ing problem, while in all other groups this share is higher and hovers around 80%. Young people in larger cities (Ljubljana, Maribor) live in their parents’ households to a lesser extent than their peers outside larger cities. Due to rising real estate prices, young people in larger cities would be expected to live with their parents or rely on “family property” more than their peers from smaller cities or rural areas. In this context, we could talk about a higher degree of youth independence in larger cities, which is complemented by the fact that young people from larger cities also expect less help from their parents when solving the housing problem. Data that show the structure of real estate ownership in which young people who no longer live in their parents’ households are also signifi- cant. The data indicate changes or a shift in the structure of real estate ownership, which is associated with difficult access of young people to own real estate.
