| The EU's statistical office Eurostat warned on Thursday that, based on data from 2025, people aged 15 and over in EU countries are expected to work for an average of 37.5 years. This is an increase from 37.2 years recorded in the survey in 2024, reports TASR.
Eurostat specified that since 2016, working life expectancy in the EU has increased by 2.3 years, from 35.2 to 37.5 years.
However, this indicator varies significantly between EU member states. In seven EU countries, the average working life expectancy is 40 years or more - the Netherlands (44 years), Sweden (43.4), Denmark (42.6), Estonia (41.5), Ireland (40.7), Germany (40.2) and Finland (40.1). On the other hand, employees in Romania (32.7 years), Italy (33), Bulgaria (34.6) and Croatia (35) are expected to have the shortest working lives.
According to last year's Eurostat data, Slovakia is slightly below the EU average with around 36 years of working life.
Data from 2025 also indicated that men in the EU will work an average of 39.5 years during their professional lives, with the longest duration in the Netherlands (45.9 years), Sweden and Denmark (44.5) and Ireland (43.4 years). The shortest working life expectancy for men is in Bulgaria (35.9 years), Romania (36) and Croatia (36.3). In Slovakia, it is around 37 years.
According to the same data, the average working life expectancy for women in EU countries is 35.4 years. The longest duration was recorded in Sweden (42.3 years), the Netherlands (41.9) and Estonia (41.8). The shortest duration of women's working lives belonged to Italy (28.4 years), Romania (29.1) and Greece (31.8). In the case of Slovakia, data collected last year indicate 34 years.
