WHY IS AGEING AN IMPORTANT TOPIC
FOR THE LABOUR MARKET
AND
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT AT LOCAL LEVEL?
Anne Sonnet, Project Leader
Nicola Duell, Consultant
Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, OECD
OECD LEED Expert Roundtable
Local economic strategies for ageing labour markets
OECD, Paris, 31 March 2015
Source: OECD estimates based on national labour force surveys.
82% of older people (aged 55 64) in Iceland were employed in 2013 but this falls to only 48% in
Slovenia. Most countries plan to increase the official age for receiving a pension beyond 65 but, on
average in the OECD, only 20% of people aged 65-69 were working in 2013 compared with 67% in the
age group 55-59 and 42% in the age group 60-64.
Opportunities to work at an older age vary
considerably across OECD countries
