Info

Baby boom households account for 18 percent of all households and 20 percent of total disposable income. This is not very disproportionate: by comparison, percentages of households and income for 35–44 yearolds are 20 and 22, and for 45–54 year olds they are 20 and 25. Amounts of mortgages and capital are more disproportionate. The total mortgage debt of 30.9billion euro (2009) is mainly borne by younger households. Their mortgages are larger, while their incomes are lower. This means their mortgage payments account for relatively more of their income than in older households. Baby boomers account for 20 percent of households with a mortgage, but they pay less than 16 percent of total mortgage payments. People in age groups 35– 44 years and 45–54 years, each accounting for one quarter of people with a mortgage, pay 33 percent and 26 percent of total mortgage payments respectively. The distribution of capital is most disproportionate. The youngest households have built up only little capital, while many older households own their homes, which are often worth a lot more than the outstanding mortgage. Households of over-65s own no less than one third of capital in the country. Baby boomers account for 28 percent, people in the middle age groups (35–44 years) for only 12 percent.

7 Older workers willing to stay on The labour potential of older people has increased substantially since the end of the last century. The number of people in work rose by 0.83 million between 1996 and 2009, net labour participation of the over-50s rose from 40 percent (1996) to 55 percent (2009). The participation of 60–64 year-old men doubled in this period, that of women over 60 years even tripled.
