Age and occupational activity status of 45-59-year-old Danes from 1984 to 1994

Analyses of the occupational activity of the 45-59-year-old Danes in the 10-year period 1984-1994 show that the decrease in occupational activity status is marked for women at the age of 50 and for men about 5 years later. Moreover, it is not possible to detect an increase in the occupational activity, as far as the employment rate is concerned, of the 45-59-year-olds during the same 10-year period.
