of highly educated working individuals, their labour market participation increases to 30% among men and to 24% among women at older ages (although the data are not statistically reliable for the age cohort 70-74 for women and for a number of regions).

GRAPH 2.5 Classification of Occupations Occupational choices during the life cycle represent an important determiner of employability, productivity, income, and health. The SHARE survey asks respondents about the type of occupation they currently perform, or performed prior to leaving work. The international classification of occupations (ISCO) divides occupations into ten categories. For the purposes of this study, we simplify the classification into three basic occupational types – professional, services, and manual – in table 2.2.
