瑞典‧總理:國民應75歲退休


(瑞典)“左派的觀點是,當工作太困難時,你應提早退休或領取其他福利。我倒寧可說,當工作變得太困難時,你應該做其他工作。”(The view of the Left is that when work becomes too difficult you take early retirement or some other kind of benefit. I would rather say that when the job becomes too difficult you should do some other kind of work.)

瑞典《每日新聞》(Dagens Nyheter)2月7日刊出中間偏右總理賴因費爾特(Fredrik Reinfeldt)的專訪,他表示隨著人口老化,希望國民考慮工作到75歲,不該期望在65歲就退休。這番話在瑞典引起公憤,因為瑞典一向以“從搖籃到墳墓”照顧人民的優厚社會保障制度為傲。(香港明報)
