Labor force participation in the U.S. is expected to decline the most drastically in the 16- to 19-year-old age group. Participation rates have and are projected to hold steady for 25-to-54-year olds. The labor force participation rate is expected to increase to 30.4 percent by 2033 for those aged 65 to 74, as the retirement age in the U.S. increases from 66 to 67. Interestingly, participation for those 75 and older is expected to nearly double between 2003 and 2033.

In 2023, the labor force participation rate of Singapore residents aged 65 years and above was at 31.5 percent. The labor force participation rate for this age group had been increasing in the last ten years, as Singapore faces an aging population with longer life expectancies. Many residents are increasingly facing the need to work longer or re-renter the workforce after retirement in order to support themselves, amongst other reasons.

In 2023, about 982.9 million people in China were estimated by the UN to be at a working age between 15 and 64 years. After a steep increase in the second half of the 20th century, the size of the working-age population reached a turning point in 2015 and figures started to decrease thereafter. Changes in the working-age population China's demographic development is characterized by a rapid change from a high fertility rate to a low one. This has caused the development of an arc shaped graph of the working age population: quickly increasing numbers before 2010, a gradual turn with a minor second peak until around 2027, and a steep decline thereafter. The expected second maximum of the graph results from the abolishment of birth control measures after 2010, which proved less successful in increasing birth figures than expected. The same turn can be seen in the number of people eligible for work, with an accelerated downturn in the years of the coronavirus pandemic, where many people left the labor force. It is very likely that the size of the labor force will rebound slightly in the upcoming years, but the extent of the rebound, which parallels the second maximum of the working age population, might be limited. China's labor market China's labor market was once defined by its abundant and cheap labor force, but competition for talent has been getting increasingly tense in recent years. This development is very likely to further intensify and extend itself into the less skilled ranks of the labor market. As the number of people who fall within the retirement age group is increasing and adding to the burden on the economy, steps to keep labor participation high are necessary. Raising the retirement age and providing incentives to stay in the labor force, are measures being implemented by Chinese government. Strategies to increase labor productivity would be ideal to mitigate the pressure on the Chinese economy, however, realizing such strategies is challenging.

This statistic displays the results of a survey on the distribution of frequencies of how often people exercise or play sport in the European Union (EU) in 2017, characterised by both age group and gender. The survey was conducted via face-to-face interviews and gathered data from 28,031 respondents across Europe, in December 2017. The frequency of exercise or sport participation tends to decrease with age. A majority of 15-24 year-olds exercise or play sport regularly or with some regularity. This falls to 46 percent in the 25-39 year olds, 39 percent for 40-54 year-olds and 30 percent for those aged 55 or over. In addition, the proportion that never exercises or plays sport also increases with age, from 24 percent among 15-24 year olds, to 61 percent of those aged 55 or over. Reasons for participation The most frequently offered reason for participating in physical activity and sport include are to improve health and to improve fitness. Other popular reasons include relaxing, having fun and improving physical performance. Conversely the frequently offered reason for a lack of participation is a lack of time., followed by a lack motivation or interest. Younger people do more sports The positive correlation shown between the age of a respondent and the frequency with which they engage in exercise or sport could be related to these two frequently offered reasons preventing participation in physical activity. More information about sports in Europe can be found in the Dossier: Fitness industry in Europe.

Since 1964, voter turnout rates in U.S. presidential elections have generally fluctuated across all age groups, falling to a national low in 1996, before rising again in the past two decades. Since 1988, there has been a direct correlation with voter participation and age, as people become more likely to vote as they get older. Participation among eligible voters under the age of 25 is the lowest of all age groups, and in the 1996 and 2000 elections, fewer than one third of eligible voters under the age of 25 participated, compared with more than two thirds of voters over 65 years.

The number of U.S. Americans playing tackle football increased in 2023 for the fourth year in a row. In total, around 5.6 million people above the age of six years were engaged in that sport at least once in that year. Tackle football vs flag football Football is a popular recreational sport in the United States - for adults, adolescents and children alike. Played with almost the same rules as professional football, children can start playing tackle football around the age of five. Over the past few years, there has been a decline in the number of people participating in tackle football. Comparatively, more and more people have been turning to flag football, where rather than tackling players to the ground (as done in tackle football) the defensive team must remove a flag from the player carrying the ball. In 2021, the U.S. participation in flag football was approximately 6.9 million people, a number that has seen an overall raise of 18.2 percent between 2015 and that year. Too old for outdoor activities? It would seem that younger generations participate more often in outdoor activities than people of older age groups do. A survey found that around 60 percent of the Millenials and Gen Z respondents participated at least once in an outdoor activity in 2021. Meanwhile, the outdoor participation of respondents who belonged to the boomers generations amounted to 40 percent.

In 2024, around 90.8 percent of the population aged 25 to 34 years was in the labor force in Japan. The labor force participation rate was highest among men aged 35 to 44 at almost 96 percent. Around 82 percent of women in the same age cohort were in the workforce.

In 2024, around 71.5 percent of the male population and 55.6 percent of the female population aged 15 years and above in Japan were in the workforce nationally. The labor force participation rate among women reached the highest share since 1973. Female employment rate Japan’s employment rate, the share of people who are employed among the total population aged 15 years and above, rose to 61.7 percent in the same year. It was mainly a higher share of women in employment that contributed to the overall increase in the employment rate in 2024. Despite the female employment rate reaching an all-time high, a significantly larger share of women, over half of female employees, were in non-regular employment, such as part-time and temporary work. Distinctive work patterns of women shaped by Japan’s labor market and corporate culture are one of the reasons for its gender gap when it comes to equal economic participation. Women’s work patterns One of these work patterns is the M-shaped curve of female labor participation. The curve reflects the trend that female labor force participation peaks in the age group of 25 to 29-year-olds and then falls, as women drop out of the workforce upon life events such as marriage and childbirth, only to reenter the workforce at a later stage. This curve has gradually flattened in recent years, as fewer women left the workforce in their thirties. However, the so-called L-shaped curve of women in regular employment suggests that instead, fewer women stay in regular employment. The percentage of women working in regular full-time jobs peaks in the age bracket of 25 to 29-year-olds and then declines steadily. This makes women less likely to enter leadership positions.

In June 2021, the school-age youth sport participation index was given as 245, which is a significant increase compared to the same month of the previous year. The lowest value was in April 2020, when the index amounted to -166.
