Economics & Development

This annex presents the data sources, methodology, and supplementary findings underlying the report's analysis of employment, work patterns, and productivity among older workers. Drawing primarily on harmonized household and labor force survey data from the Global Monitoring Database (GMD), Global Labor Database (GLD), China Family Panel Survey (CFPS), and the Counting Women’s Work (CWW) database, the annex details the empirical approaches used to examine labor force participation, employment characteristics, working hours, wage employment, formality, and earnings across age groups, genders, education levels, and country income classifications. It includes descriptive statistics, regression analyses, country coverage information, and additional tables and figures that illustrate age-related trends in employment, time use, and productivity across low-, lower-middle-, upper-middle-, and high-income countries. The supplementary results provide further evidence on the relationship between aging, labor market outcomes, and productivity in developing economies.
