Working life and skills are changing fast. Some jobs are booming, others are disappearing, says the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025. The OECD warns: “There is an urgent need to boost the skills of older workers.”
However, older workers (55–65 year-olds) take part in non-formal learning and training much less than those aged 25–54 year-olds, the OECD finds. On average, the rate is 32% versus 49% in 23 European countries, though the gap differs across countries.
