The subject of the diploma work is the analysis of housing situation of young people in Slovenia. We touched the living situation of young people - it has not improved significantly in the last 5-10 years and a large percentage of young people still live in overcrowded apartments. The average age of a young person when moving into his/her separate apartment in Slovenia is significantly higher compared to young people from the Scandinavian countries. In Slovenia, most of young people who acquire their own apartments soon enough, ie. when they need it, succeed in that thanks to the financial situation of their parents. Young people differ greatly in their material and financial background, which is important for solving their housing issues and problems. This also applies to the element of employment of youth, the quality of their employments and the level of their monthly income. For many, these are not high enough to afford a market rental apartment. However, many who choose to go on their own in this way, run the risk of poverty or, because of the high prices in the rental market, opt for options with poorer rental conditions that are not encouraging for family planning. We draw attention to the impact of such a situation of young people on the declining birth rate in Slovenia. Developments in the field of housing conditions and the availability of housing for young people will continue to significantly depend on the quality and efficiency of politics of the state and municipalities. Given the excessive social disparities and the occurrences of poverty in Slovenia, the optimal approach would be with a combination of measures to correct the existing economic and social system and to strengthen the social policy, especially in the housing field, for which the state has various possible types of measures.
