Note: The percentage of the working-age population, as defined by World Development Indicators, refers to the proportion of individuals within a specific age range (typically 15 to 64 years) relative to the total population.
Key Takeaways
The UK's working-age population began at 65.3% in 1990, reaching a peak of 66.3% in 2007 during economic growth years, then gradually declined to 63.4% by 2022. This decrease reflects demographic aging, as birth rates slowed, and life expectancy increased. Economic impacts from factors like Brexit and COVID-19 may have also influenced recent labor demographics. This trend aligns with the broader aging trajectory seen across Europe, which impacts the share of the workforce over time.
