Abstract

People live longer today. In this changed situation of longer life, questions arise whether the concepts of what it is to be grown up, at what age this happens and when a person becomes old are changing. Are the notions of the roles people should play at a certain calendar age also changing? Could cultural norms in this area be linked to the age of entry and exit from the labour market? Clarifying these questions has implications for questions of working life expectancy, which sound extremely relevant in our ageing societies and in the need to increase employment. The paper analyses the current perceptions in European countries about the age at which a person grows up and becomes an adult, the age when old age starts and observed changes in this respect between 2006 and 2018 in countries with different labour market characteristics. The report covers 31 European countries at two points in time - 2006 (23 countries) and 2018 (29 countries). Microdata from two waves of the representative European Social Survey (ESS) are used: wave 3 from 2006 and wave 9 from 2018.
