The Length of Working Lives in Europe

Agar Brugiavini and Franco Peracchi

Journal of the European Economic Association, 2005, vol. 3, issue 2-3, 477-486

Abstract: In this paper we ask what is the length of working life in Europe, whether it differs by gender, birth cohort, and schooling level, and what are the main differences across countries. We also ask whether there is a trend towards shorter working lives, and to what extent it is due to the delayed entry into the labor force or earlier withdrawal from the labor force.
