Slovenia has excellent infrastructure, a well-educated work force, the highest per capita GDP in Central Europe, and a strategic location between the Balkans and Western Europe, according to the CIA World Factbook. As a result, the country, which is highly dependent on foreign trade, has attracted a large number of workers from abroad. The influx of immigrants is not enough to offset the effects of Slovenia's low fertility rate.
