Summary

This study examines the aging of the workforce in Bulgaria during the period 1985–2001 against the backdrop of the aging of the country’s general population. It analyzes the changes that occurred during this period in the size and basic demographic structures of the total workforce from the perspective of the aging process. It tracks the characteristics of the aging of the labor force by sector in comparison with selected European countries and identifies the sectors in Bulgaria least affected by aging during the period. It examines the processes through which changes in the general population influence the economically active population and its age composition. The study analyzes the evolution of the degree of demographic and economic pressure on the workforce during the period under review, as well as the impact of changes in the age structure of the working-age population on the overall level of economic activity.
