Pensions

European Union · Effective age of labour-market exit

Average age at which workers aged 40 and over leave the labour force (employment or unemployment), estimated by the OECD from changes in participation rates by age over five years (Pensions at a Glance). Men and women separately: the OECD publishes no both-sexes average. It is neither the legal age nor the age at which the pension is claimed.· Neither the legal age nor the pension claiming age· OECD estimate (Pensions at a Glance) derived from the change in labour-force participation rates by five-year age group over five years. When the OECD series breaks (one sex moving more than 4 years in a single year), the card starts on the new basis (Korea 1989, Turkey 1999, Mexico 2004); the EU starts in 2005, the first year with every year published for both sexes.· Licence : OECD terms and conditions · source: OECD, Pensions at a Glance
