Swedish Socialist party Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson announced that the retirement age would likely be raised in the near future in order to offset increased welfare costs, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports.
“Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” Andersson said.
The minister made her remarks following an economic report from the Local Authorities and County Council (SKL) released earlier this week. The report claimed that the welfare state would grow faster than revenue obtained through taxation due to the dramatic rise of Sweden’s population.
Due to the influx of migrants during the migrant crisis and Sweden’s growing birthrate, the population of the country has expanded faster than almost any other European country.
Some Swedish cities, like the southern city of Malmo, owe their population growth almost entirely to mass migration from predominantly Middle Eastern countries.
The SKL study claims there is a 47 billion SEK (£4.1 billion) gap between current revenue and welfare state costs that will have to be made up either by tax increases or increasing the retirement age.
While migrants are increasing the cost of the Swedish welfare state in terms of added infrastructure and cost for services, many are unemployed and directly on welfare. A recent report showed that while the native Swedish unemployment rate was around 3.9 percent, it stood at 21.8 percent for Swedish residents from foreign backgrounds.

Just another life improvement for Swedes!
How very sad. A lovely country with lovely people and I am very glad that I got to see it before the invasion of filthy parasites.
What a country. Old Swedes will work until they are dead, so that their invaders can live off their government. Pathetic.
some say when you bring in immigrants when you have low birth rates, the immigrants will pay for the elederly
This proves that theory wrong.
Get that? “Opportunities” for you to work longer than 65.. so you can pay for young, military-aged males to collect freebies while sitting on their ass, contemplating raping your women.
I am surprised the civil war has not started there already.. with the first wave of attacks against all the government officials.
Aaaannnnd here we go!
the word CUCK was invented for Swedes.
And started working at 30?
Coming to America when the next Democrat is elected POTUS
Look at all those unaccompanied minors. Poor children.
Bullets are cheaper.
There is no limit to political madness.
Or the next Bush.
Do they have weapons with which to conduct such a war?
I never thought humans could be quite this submissive.
The funny thing is that the Corporations could not care less. The Government gives these immigrants $$ to buy stuff, which increases profits. As long as the costs are paid for by the People or by increasing the deficit (vs. corporate taxes), they are fine with it.
START working at 30?
I’ve been paying in to our Social Security system since I was 14 years old.
