Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore the employment of 60–68-year-old men and women by educational level over the period 2006–2018 and the magnitude of educational inequalities in employment. We used individual-level register data from Statistics Finland including all Finns aged 60–68 over a period of 13 years. In addition to calculating employment rates for men and women by educational levels, we estimated the relative index of inequality (RII) and slope index of inequality (SII) to measure the magnitude of relative and absolute educational inequalities in employment. The results show that the employment rates increased in all educational levels over the period 2006–2018. Relative educational inequalities in employment remained stable mainly among the 63–65-year-olds but decreased among the 60–62-year-olds and the 66–68-year-olds. However, absolute educational inequalities in employment increased in all age groups for both men and women.
