The Spanish economy could grow an additional 9.9% – some 188,000 million euros – in the long term if it were able to increase employment among those over 55 years of age to the levels of Sweden. This is one of the main conclusions of the PwC Golden Age Index, that analyzes the labor market among older workers in OECD countries and its impact on economic growth. The document estimates that between 2015 and 2050 the number of people over 55 years of age in the OECD will increase by 50%, to 538 million. In this case, increasing the employment of those over 55 years of age to the rates of Sweden would mean an increase in the GDP of the OECD of more than two trillion euros .

pwcThe study places Spain (9.9%) in the high band of the group of fourteen countries, in which the increase in employment in those over 55 years of age would have a medium impact on GDP (between 5% and 9.9%). %), along with others Email Data such as France (9.6%), Portugal (6.5%), Ireland (5.4%) or Germany (5%) -see graph-. Greece (15.5%), Belgium (12.9%) or Italy (10%) are some of those that make up the group where the impact on economic activity is rated as high.

The study, prepared by PwC, also includes the Golden Age Index, an index that analyzes how different countries in the OECD are working to harness the full potential of older workers. The ranking is headed by Iceland (1), New Zealand (2), Israel (3) and Sweden (4), while Spain is in position number 25. The case of Germany stands out, which, since 2003, has managed to gain ten positions, up to 15, thanks to the flexibility that has been introduced into the market in successive labor and pension system reforms.

The Golden Age Index is made up of seven sub-indicators such as: the level of employment of people between 55 and 64, and between 65 and 69 years old; part-time work; income in relation to workers between 24 and 54 years old; the effective year of retirement in each country, male and female employment and participation in training programs for older workers.

X-ray of the employment of the elderly in Spain




In the case of Spain, the percentage of employees between 55 and 64 years old is 49.1%, twenty-six points below that of Sweden - traditionally considered one of the most efficient labor markets. And that of those over 65 is 4.9% - compared to 21.9% in Sweden. Regarding workers between 55 and 64 years old who are employed part-time in Spain, the figure remains below 15%, very far from other countries such as Switzerland, Holland – where it practically reaches 40% – or the United Kingdom. United Kingdom –where it is above 25%-. Regarding the effective retirement age, it has been increasing since 2003 in practically all OECD countries. In Spain it is around 64 years old, while in Korea, Mexico, Chile, Iceland and Israel, it is over 67 years old.

The study considers that in order to take advantage of the potential of older workers, measures must be taken in two areas. On the one hand, governments must be able to include among their priorities the reforms of pension systems and the implementation of measures that encourage delaying the retirement age. And, on the other hand, employers must opt ​​for more flexible forms of work and new partial retirement formulas.
