I think Swedes should work until they are 100, just for the health benefits.

Women who were forced into an early pension before the age of 24 run the greatest risk: their chances of dying early are 14 times higher than the average.

That sounds weird. To be forced into retirement at such an early age would indicate a severe medical problem. Those with severe medical problems are likely to die younger. Ah, the magic of statistics.

That is why the rest should work til 100. To pay for the ones who can't or won't.

That was exactly my first thought.

In my case, I retired at 50 (11 years ago) and am in very good health.
