differentiated offer of all kind of jobs for people with the highest university
degrees. That is why some nearby smaller urban centers also have very high
indexes including Trzin that could easily be comprehended as outer green
suburbs of Ljubljana. As there are many attractive tourist centers among ci-
ties with high indexes we can conclude that this kind of places are also in-
teresting as a place of residence for higher educated people.

Femininity indexes of tertiary educated population in Slovenia were
already well above 100 and the highest values were in small cities where
the shares of this population are generally quite low. Recent prevalence of
woman among graduates at lower starting point brought turnabout from
under to above 100 faster than in the cities where the share was already
high when women started to study massively.

The differences between urban and non-urban population considering
212 the average shares of employed, self-employed and unemployed persons are

considerably small. However, the differences between the cities are qui-
te big. The highest are the differences between the shares of unemployed.
The cities with the highest shares of unemployed persons reflect regional
inequalities in economic development . All four cities in Prekmurje, the
least developed region in Slovenia, located between Mura river and Hun-
garian border, are among six cities with the highest shares of unemployed
persons. Similar is situation with the cities in Koroška (Carinthia – hil-
ly region along Austrian border. Quite different is the situation in western
Pre-Alps where we have smaller industrial cities with some prosperous en-
terprises (Cerkno, Železniki, Žiri) or small cities in near vicinity of Lju-
bljana (Ivančna Gorica, Trzin) where the shares of employed are high abo-
ve the average.

Population reproduction in urban areas is not much different than in
non-urban ones. Differences in fertility rate and number of children per
woman are noticeable, but not big enough to state that we have two diffe-
rent models of reproductive behaviour: urban and rural. Even if we could
divide women according to such two models, we have to aknowledge that
women with »urban« reproductive behaviour do not reside only in ur-
ban areas as defined by Statistical office, but in many other settlements too.
This »part time urban« population blurres the whole picture in the case of
reproduction as it does in other demographic characteristics.

For migration flows we constated that cities are mainly the final de-
stination for immigrants from abroad while immigrants within the coun-
try are more often moving from the cities to their hintherland than in the
opposite direction. However, in this case once again we have to say that the
differences between cities are very big. One of the reasons is that most of
