Today the so called "social democratic left"-party along with right-wing block in #Sweden are suggesting to essentially extend the workday by raising the #retirement age saying that Swedes live longer. Representatives say things like:
"We want to give people a possibility to [continue working]" and "You should be able to determine yourself when you want to retire".
Media is not reflecting upon the fact that our lifespan has been increasing over the last 100 years while we have _shortened_ our workday. In fact, during the period we shortened our workday the most our lifespan grew the fastest according to sociologist Roland Paulsen, author of "The Labour Society: How labor survived technology" and "Empty Labour". https://social.umeahackerspace.se/attachment/544273
