EHI,
Sto guardando queste statistiche e sto cercando di capire perché la Slovenia ha un PIL pro capite molto più elevato, ma la differenza negli stipendi non è così grande. Quali pensi siano le ragioni principali di questo e in che modo credi che queste differenze incidono sulla vita quotidiana delle persone in entrambi i paesi?

Because Slovenia is governed by the far left which taxes everyone making few € above minimum wage to the death.
Impact ? Well there are 200k foreign workers in Slovenia, 95% working for minimum wage, 95% from outside of EU. People emigrate and in general the whole region is getting severely battered, there are 4-5 million of people less living in Former Yugoslavian republics right now then in 1990 (and that is counting Albanians, Filipinos, people from Nepal in Croatia, etc).
slovenians are more productive, while croats live off overcharging us as when we go there as tourists in summer
From what I see you have good data, nominal for slovenia is 35k for 2025, but ppp per capita is way off.
So if you are taking the 2025 projections it is 57,9k in ppp per capita.
Main problem in terms of monthly salaries is that slovenia has a bunch of non or semi taxed parts of the salary and those are never included in avarage gross or net. Also both croatian and slovenia have sth on top of vruto, in case of slovenia its named bruto bruto(around 16%+ on top of bruto) and for croatia bruto2, not sure what extra amount they have for the employers.
It was estimated around 370€ per month in a net amount for 2023 on top of the average net. This is coming from transportation, lunch and regres. All these are mandatory for every employee.
If you check some anual wage or hourly wage expenses for employers you will see that slovenia has it significantly higher than croatia. Slovenia just sucks ass in avarage net. Also in slovenia gini is extremely low, meaning that most people get close to the avarage. Median was around 200euros net less than the avarage last year.
We have to look at this difference also from a statistical point of view. In Slovenia, you need to take into the account also the bonuses which are added to the neto salary, such as bonus for work lunch (7,95 eur/day) and bonus for driving to work (0,21/km). Those two are tax free. Since the taxes on our salaries are high, a lot of companies try to optimize the salary in way, they pay a lot of your salary in those bonuses which dont count in the statistical neto salary. I believe in Croatia (as in almost all european countries) you dont get any additional bonuses on a neto salary. So a lot of people can get up to 500 eur in bonuses and it kind of messes up with the statistics.
Croatia had 5 years of war in the 90s, it took a massive effort to rebuild, stop the corruption that comes with war times, heal psychologicaly, pay injured war veterans, whereas Slovenian ‘war’ for independence lasted less than a month with practically zero casualties and damaged infrastructure.
