The increase in the population is apparent - then the retirement age can be increased
2017-12-20
[Expressen] Sweden's need for welfare increases faster than our revenues.

Then the Minister of Finance, Magdalena Andersson (S), raises the height of retirement age.

"Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65," says Magdalena Andersson to Dina Pengar.

Sweden's population is increasing at a furious pace, and this development means significantly increased costs to deal with.

This is the case in Sweden's Local Authorities and County Council (SKL) in the "Economy Report" presented on Tuesday .

"From 2018, we expect the need for welfare to grow significantly faster than tax revenues," says Annika Wallenskog, chief economist at SKL.

In the report, SKL is alerting that a series of measures are needed to block the gap between costs and revenues, which risk raising 59 billion by 2021.

#4  IIRC the 65 age was first employed by Bismark's Germany. The consideration was that most of the population died by then so the tax pension system would not suffer much allowing the collected horde to be spent on the army other priorities.

We have been appropriately informed. No further evidence should be required. I see the actual video is no longer available. Such a surprise.

#1  "Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65," says Magdalena Andersson to Dina Pengar.

Given they should work until 66, but shouldn't you begin work at 16, even while at school?

"From 2018, we expect the need for welfare to grow significantly faster than tax revenues," says Annika Wallenshog, chief economist at SKL.

"childbirth approaching historically high levels puts pressure on municipalities and county councils."

Spiraling out of control...
