Senior Workers Double Their Share of Slovak Labor Market Over Past Decade

The percentage of working seniors in Slovakia has doubled from four percent to eight percent over the past ten years, as demographic changes reshape the country's labor market. Most workers over 60 are employed in real estate, administration, and healthcare sectors. Slovakia's labor market is undergoing significant transformation driven primarily by population aging, with increasing numbers of people choosing to remain in the workforce after reaching age 60. This trend reflects broader demographic pressures facing the Central European nation as its population ages and the traditional working-age population shrinks.
