Contribution to the study of young people’s literacy skills
in Slovenia
The article presents the literacy skills of young people, which enable them
to understand and use written texts and have significant impact on their
work and life in general. In the entire adult population, the population be-
tween 16 and 24 in Slovenia has got higher literacy proficiency level than
other age categories. Nevertheless, there are many young people who do not
have the appropriate skills to handle modern information contained in dif-
ferent types of texts, forms and illustrations, and to use them in a new cir-
cumstances. The aim of the paper is to present the literacy skills of the pop-
ulation aged 16 to 24 in Slovenia, identify the factors that influence them
and find out some key features that express their role in the labour mar-
ket and society. Paper is based on quantitative methodology since the aim
of the paper is to find factors that significantly influence literacy skills of
young adults. We analysed Slovenian data of an international PIAAC study,
which are representative, because is conducted in accordance with strict
OECD methodological guidelines. We analysed part of Slovenian dataset,
i.e. 16 to 24 years old. We used univariate, bivariate methods of analysis and
multivariate linear regression analysis.Factors that best explain the level of
their literacy skills are: participation in formal education (ß = 0,225), num-
ber of books in the household (ß = 0,253), education of father / guardian (ß
= 0,117), Slovenian as a mother tongue (ß = 0,061) and education of a moth-
er / guardian (ß = 0,046). We produced the model which is the basis for
designing measures to reduce literacy skills gaps and empower vulnerable
groups among young people to achieve higher literacy skills.
Keywords: literacy skills, young people, PIAAC survey, vulnerability, social
inequality, quantitative research.
