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)…

Is there an insidious disease infecting Europe? Some sort of mad cow disease eating their brains? The stupid and suicidal is spreading. I never could have conceived of multiple countries just GIVING their countries away to subhuman savages. Is this just liberalism or a serious drop in I.Q.?
Rape away!
Oh Yeah! I'm absolutely sure that if I were Swedish that I would just jump at the "opportunity" to work past 65 so the Muzzy parasites brought in by my Marxist overlords could continue on their free ride to an Islamic paradise in Sweden. Jeez, a few more years of this and you wont be able to tell Stockholm from Mogadishu.
“”Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” Andersson said.””
Don’t you like the way she worded that? “should be opportunities”. And they don’t start working there until age 30? What are they doing until then? I wonder how old she has to be to retire from her government position. Make her wait about 40 more years!
“”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.””
Holy Smoke - this woman is a genius. Does it hurt to be that intelligent?
“”Jeez, a few more years of this and you wont be able to tell Stockholm from Mogadishu.””
That is probably true of any country over there except the ones fighting this disease - Hungary and Poland from what I understand...
Congrats, Swedes...your invaders are forcing you to work longer and they will just laugh at you.
WTF?!?!
I started working (just part time, of course) 17 years earlier than that, at 13, working in the kitchen at a geriatric center (my grandfather got me the job.)
What planet are they living on?

Fortunately it seems the women of Sweden are stepping up to the plate to do something positive. Seems the national police chief (or perhaps it was a local one?) told women to either stay at home or travel in groups due to the epidemic of gang rapes they are having with those fine immigrants and that brought out hundreds of women protesting the absurd instruction.
The women are doing what all citizens of Sweden should: questioning this insane mob of immigrants who will not contribute to the country or adopt behavior which is acceptable in Western civilization.
