Impact of the real estate taxation and municipal revenue on dynamics of internal migration: Case study for City Municipal of Ljubljana

Abstract

Bevc and Uri (2013) looked at national statistics and found that the number of migrations within Slovenia increased absolutely and relatively during the 1995-2007 period. Despite methodological and substantive changes in the migration data capture in 2008 (Slovenian Statistical Office -SURS, 2009), statistics show steadily increasing inter-municipal migrations in Slovenia from 2009 onwards as well. The authors found that the average age of migrants has risen from 28 years in the 1990s to 30 years in the 2001-2007 period. During the 2008-2011 period, it had already risen to 34 years (Bevc in This points to the fact that the changes in the retirement policy and an aging population are also changing the intensity of commuting flows and migration flows.
