Eurobarometer survey: Young Slovaks most concerned about high cost of living

As many as 40 percent of young people in the European Union (EU) agree that addressing rising prices and living costs should be the EU’s top priority over the next five years, with nearly half (47 percent) of Slovaks aged 16 to 30 expressing concern as well, a Eurobarometer survey states.

The survey also assessed young people’s support for the European Union. About a third of Slovaks agree with the statement “I am a supporter of the EU and the way in which it currently functions,” while another third are supporters of the EU but dissatisfied with how it currently operates. A further 21 percent are somewhat sceptical but may change their opinion if the functioning of the EU significantly improved. Overall, only 4 percent of young Slovaks are opposed to the idea of the EU. These results are similar to overall trends observed across the Union.
