Eurostat recently released data showing the expected durations of working life in European states for 2015, which uses demographic and labor force data to estimate the number of years a person aged 15 in a given nation is expected to be "active" - so, employed or unemployed but looking for work - in the labor market throughout his or her life.

Norway, Sweden, Germany, and the UK are among the countries with the longest expected durations of working life - greater than 38 years.

On the flip side, Italy, Poland, Greece, and Hungary are among the countries with the shortest expected durations of working life in Europe - less than 33 years.
