The economic effects of Erasmus+ on the Slovenian economy

Erasmus+ promotes the cross-country mobility of learners and staff in various fields of education and training. The programme has also gained attraction in Slovenia. Thousands of mostly young people took part, either as an “incoming” to Slovenia or an “outgoing”, in 2018. Even though the main aims of Erasmus+ are not economic ones, the moving of people around Europe leads to financial flows between countries that trigger economic and fiscal effects.
