[i] Data: Own calculation based on data of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (21).
[ii] Notes: Data for averages for selected occupations not provided due to statistical guidelines on data protection (cells marked p – protected). Data for male deaths due to breast cancer was not reported due to statistical data protection rules (number is less than 10 in total). The average age at retirement was calculated based on changes in activity status from active to retired recorded on December 31. Age at retirement is approximated by the age in the last year when the person was still active.
