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.
A 2016 report claimed that the one-year cost of the migrant crisis for the Swedish taxpayer could amount to as much as 600 billion Swedish Kronor (£48.3 billion)…

Decades of brainwashing can achieve mind-boggling results. Who would think that Americans would ever believe the idiotic things the media bombards us with today?
“And started working at 30?”
Worked construction with my father starting in my mid-teens and unloading trucks in the early morning hours before heading off to college classes at 19-20.
You also have to understand he’s a socialist politician. The whole idea of “work” is an abstract notion to him.
I’m glad someone else noticed that.
What’s up with that? How about starting at 18 and getting another 12 years in.

I like the part...”should have the OPPORTUNITY to work past 65, haha.
BTW- I thought this influx of human debris was supposed to BOOST their economy and GDP? Where did that idiocy go?
And the nuclear families, I see a lot of family units there.
“And started working at thirty?”
That was the first thing I thought of. How many people start work at thirty?
START working at 30??????????
What happened during the 12 years prior to that????
If Trump had lost the election, we would have been maybe 5 years behind Sweden.
And reproducing at a high rate, so they can be a majority within another generation or so, and Sweden will never be the same.
Why do you think so many Americans are working into their 70s? Because they have to carry a lot of dead weight, and more crosses the border every minute...
Trump won the election because we ARE 5 years behind Sweden. It is just easier to see it in some places than others...
On the other hand, Hungary is smart, the PM of Hungary, Victor Orban is NOT letting them in and the people are supporting that decision.
I think it’s a great plan.
bkmk
lol...so much for immigrants paying for the medical and Social Security of the native born retirees. All a big stinkin’ lie. The situation in America is as rotten, but we can print Dollars which are the premier reserve currency. So can get away with this scam longer.
That’s funny.
