Trends in Working Age Population Percentage in Spain from 1990 to 2022

Spain's working-age population percentage rose steadily from 66.5% in 1990 to peak at 68.9% in 2007, influenced by economic expansion and demographic shifts. This peak was followed by a gradual decline, dropping to 66.3% by 2015, partly due to an aging population. A slight stabilization occurred between 2019 and 2022, with the working-age percentage hovering around 65.9%. Economic downturns and a decrease in birth rates are notable factors impacting this trend, as Spain’s population structure ages, impacting the proportion of working-age individuals.
