3 Concern: An aging population 1. decreases the share of the labor force in the total population (growth concern) Shrinking labor force Expanding inactive older population 2. alters the structure of labor force (productivity concern) Out-dated skills Less dynamism: less job reallocation across occupations, sectors, and places 3
4 Change in labor force, % Dependency ratios not fixed: Size and composition of the labor force can be altered by higher participation Projected changes in the size of the labor force under different labor force participation scenarios, by age category, Central Europe and Baltics, Constant participation profile Female to male convergence Increase in worklife by 10 years Note: Data are based on past estimates of participation rates in , projections of the International Labour Organization (ILO) for based on past trends, and scenarios for developed by the World Bank for this report (female participation convergence to male participation rates and working life gradually increases by ten years) Sources: Based on ILO (2013) and UN Population Division (2013) 4
5 Ratio of inactive to active population aged 15+ Dependency ratios can remain relatively stable if labor market participation rises Ratio of inactive over active people aged 15 and older, by scenario, Central Europe and the 110 Baltics, Constant participation 90 Female to male convergence Increase work lives by 10 years Note: Data are based on past estimates of participation rates in , projections of the International Labour Organization (ILO) for based on past trends, and scenarios for developed by the World Bank for this report (female participation convergence to male participation rates and working life gradually increases by ten years) Sources: Based on ILO (2011) and UN Population Division (2013) 5

9 Confronting three myths about work at older ages Myth 1: Older workers do not want to work and prefer retirement Fact: 2/3 prefer options of gradual retirement and part time work (Evidence for 27 EU countries) 2. Myth 2: Older workers are less productive, more difficult hires Mixed evidence, but policies can be put in place to alleviate lower productivity or even increase it (e.g.: agediverse teams) 3. Myth 3: Lump of labor fallacy; older workers take jobs from young Well, it s a fallacy But older workers do face some barriers when looking for work and in the workplace 9

12 Determinants of labor supply in the EU: Benefit eligibility plays a large role in reducing participation The receipt of a pension or other public support is strongly correlated with exit from work in CEB countries. 1 Male 1 Female rate rate age age Receiving Other Pension Receiving Old Age and Early Retirement Pension Working/Total Source: SHARE 2011 Changes in the official retirement age or benefit structure have potential to incentivize later retirement Examples: Austria and Germany. 12
13 EU15 EU11 Barriers to Employment: Attitudes of Employers, Health status and household structure Perceived barriers for employment after 55: % reporting each reason as very, fairly, not very, not at all important, 2011 Attitudes of employers Excluded from training No gradual retirement Places are not adapted Lack of modern skills Pensions/tax systems Family care obligation Retire with partner Excluded from training No gradual retirement Attitudes of employers Pensions/tax systems Places are not adapted Lack of modern skills Retire with partner Family care obligation 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Very important Fairly important Not very important Not important at all Source: Eurobarometer Deterioration in health and the ability to live independently is associated with exit from work. Care responsibilities interact with older worker s labor supply. Higher likelihood to work if the spouse is working: preference for joint retirement. 13

24 Positive net migration helps balance demographics now; fertility changes contribute (but longer term) Macro and micro econometric evidence suggests families in less rich EU countries don t have the critical second child due partly to not having adequate incomes Some evidence of a re-increase in fertility occurring at high country income threshold and that stable employment for mothers may play a role Supporting families can also play a role in stemming out-migration Planning to move alone Table 1.

29 Stepping up response to aging Increase healthy life expectancy and reduce health inequalities Increase labor force participation at all ages Invest in skills and adapt to older labor force Plan now for public spending trade-offs Target those who will be vulnerable to elderly poverty early on Support immigration; support families and female integration in the labor market 29
