In EU: 45 percent of 50-somethings would like to reduce working time
A recent survey on Europe’s aging workforce reveals that 45% of those who are 50+ would prefer to work less, compared with 11% who would like to work more. The remaining respondents were satisfied with the volume of weekly hours they currently work.
In a Policy Brief by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) about ageing workers, there was considerable variation according to country and workers’ qualifications.
