Labour market

Access, wages and retirement

Work is one of the main facets of our life, taking up a large part of it. In general, working life begins at the end of one's studies (between 16 and 24 years of age), and continues until retirement (between 60 and 65 years of age). This presents a brief journey through the milestones of working life, begins with the transition stage from training towards the labour market, wages, and other labour costs, and the step towards retirement. It provides a perspective with particular attention paid to the foreign population.
