Ljubljana, Dec. 10
At the current fertility rate of 1.25 children per woman, the Slovenian population would shrink to 24,000 people by 2300, a UN report on the population says. Slovenia, which had a population of 1.99 million people in 2000, would see its population fall to 1.268 million in 2300 if the fertility rate grows to 2 children per woman, the World Population in 2300 report says. The average age of a Slovenian is currently 38 years. The average life expectancy of a woman stands at 79 years, growing to 100 by 2300. Meanwhile, men at that time would live 26 years longer than the current 71 years.
