Summary 211
The distribution of units of population according to the type of fa-
mily that person belongs to shows considerable differences between diffe-
rent areas. Single parent families are much more frequent in urban areas
then in the population of non-urban settlements. Surprisingly the famili-
es of unmarried couples with children are slightly more represented in non-
-urban than in urban population. Absolutely the highest difference is in
the share of married couples with children. The difference is about ten per-
centage points in favor of non-urban population. In non-urban settlements
almost half of men and women live in such families.
Educational structure shows that the highest shares of people with ter-
tiary education live in the areas of middle densities of appartments per bu-
ilding and in big cities as well as in the settlements of urban area (most of
them are adjacent to big cities). The lowest levels of education are characte-
ristic for non-urban population and for the areas of the lowest densities.
People with secondary education are the most evenly distributed between
different areas (types of settlements/density classes). The difference betwe-
en men and women is considerable. The share of tertiary educated as well
as the share of women with primary or no education are higher than the
shares of men. The first one because of young women attaining universi-
ty degrees much more often than men. The second one because of older
women that could not go to school when they were young. The later group
of women is more frequent in the areas of the lowest densities and in non-
-urban areas.
There are also huge differences in levels of attained degrees among ci-
ties. There are many different factors influencing educational structure of
a settlement. All of them are more important than the simple fact that the
settlement fulfills the criteria for urban settlement. We calculated »edu-
cation attainment index« as a ratio between tertiary educated on one side
and primary educated and without education on the other (number of ter-
tiaty educated persons per 100 persons with primary or no education). The
lowest index among 104 Slovenian cities (urban areas) is in Tržič (26.3).
Tžič is a small industrial town with once major shoe factory that is nowa-
days constantly under the treath of being closed. Many others in Slovenia
have already been. The city with far highest index is a small Ljubljana’s sate-
lite town Trzin (212.5) folowed by two most recognizable Slovenian tourist
centers Portorož (134,6) and Bled (134,0) and Slovenian capital Ljubljana
(129,0). The average for urban population is 85.9, for Slovenia 60.0 and for
non-urban population 40.3. Cities with low indexes are predominantly in-
dustrial or mining oriented (or were). Good educational structure is chara-
cteristic of the biggest and most important city, the capital Ljubljana with
