Estonia may see its citizens working for nearly 45 years, according to new projections. Eurostat forecasts Estonians could live to 85 years old within the next half-century, significantly lengthening their working lives. A report from the Estonian Centre for Forecasting suggests this increase will necessitate continuous upskilling and reskilling throughout individuals’ careers. Workers may need to change professions multiple times to remain employed. The shift presents both opportunities and challenges for the Estonian labor market and education system. Adapting to this demographic change will be crucial for maintaining economic stability and workforce participation. These forecasts highlight a broader trend of increasing longevity across Europe, demanding proactive policy adjustments.
