Socio-economic position of students in Slovenia

The research on Socio-economic status of students in Slovenia (Ule et al., 2008) was carried out at four universities in Slovenia: University of Ljubljana, University of Maribor, University of Primorska and University of Nova Gorica. The study covered a total of 3006 persons, namely 1827 female and 1175 male students. The aim of the study was to obtain basic parameters of the socioeconomic status, the conditions of the study, the perception of the effect on social changes, the willingness for social engagement, as well as problems and strategies of transition to employment. Research results provide insight into the current profile and reveal the background of the ambivalent situation of the status of the student population.
