Throughout the European Union, a significant number of men and women are working beyond the age of 65, with notable employment rates in Estonia, Ireland, and Sweden. Factors such as financial necessity, higher education levels, and flexible working conditions contribute to this trend. The employment rates for those aged 65-69, 70-74, and over 75 have been increasing over the past 20 years, driven by policy changes and an aging population. The sectors employing the elderly vary by gender and country, with many working part-time or being self-employed. The continuation of work among the elderly is linked to financial security, social participation, and personal fulfillment.
