People in the UK will have longer working lives than people in most other European countries.

In 2015 Eurostat expected the average working lifespan in the UK to be 38.6 years, compared to 37.4 years in 2005.

In short, in the last decade the estimates added 1.2 years to your working life. Congratulations.
