Slovenia's Population Continues to Grow

Population Reaches 2.11 Million

Slovenia's population has reached 2,118,986 as of June 19, 2024, according to data from Worldometer. This represents an increase of 0.15% or 30,484 people since January 1, 2024.

Increase in Foreign Residents

The population growth is partly attributed to an increase in foreign residents. As of January 1, 2024, foreign citizens represented 9.6% of Slovenia's population, or 212,394 residents.

Steady Decline in Recent Years

Despite the increase in 2024, Slovenia's population has experienced a gradual decline in recent years. In 2023, the population decreased by 0.03% from 2,119,675 to 2,118,965. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years due to factors such as an aging population and low birth rates.

Conclusion

The population of Slovenia is a dynamic and evolving entity, shaped by both domestic and international factors. While the recent growth in population is encouraging, it remains to be seen how the country will address the challenges posed by an aging population and a declining birth rate in the years to come.
