Only 24,000 Slovenians in 2300 at Current Fertility Rate

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.
