Austria's working-age population percentage displayed stability from 1990 to 2004, hovering around 67.5%. A minor increase was seen from 2000 to 2004, reaching 68.1% due to steady immigration. However, the proportion began declining after 2005, driven by lower birth rates and an aging population, ultimately falling to 65.8% in 2022. This downward trend reflects the country’s demographic challenges as Austria faces an aging workforce.
