Today is the day we honor women and celebrate having them in our lives. To this end, the Statistical Office of Slovenia played with numbers and prepared answers to the question of what the average Slovenian woman is like and what the differences are between women from different parts of Slovenia.
We entered 2018 with 2.006.880 inhabitants and among these there were more than half women (50.3 %). It is true that more boys than girls are born each year, but after the age of about 60 they begin to outnumber dominate women.
In all of them 12 regions were the more common names Maria (mostly in the Pomurje region) and Ana, but in general they are very popular names among Slovenian women May, Irene, Jožica, Teresa, Natasha, Mojca.
Average age of women is the highest in Pomurski region (46,6 years) and the lowest in Central Slovenian region (43,2 years), where there is also the highest proportion of female students.
