(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 27 - The expected average duration of the
working life of a 15-year-old in Italy was 32.9 years in 2023,
the second-lowest in the European Union, according to new
Eurostat data.
Only Romania had a lower expected working life, 32.2 years, and
the duration for Italy was well below the EU average of 36.9
years.
The highest level was recorded in the Netherlands at 43.7 years.
Italy's low showing is linked to the short expected working life
for women - just 28.3 years in 2023, compared to the EU average
of 34.7.
That is despite the average working life for women in Italy
having risen by more than seven years since 2000. (ANSA).
