Fredrik Reinfeldt says ageing societies must extend working lives and adopt inclusive social policies to sustain economic growth and pensions.

KUALA LUMPUR: Former Swedish prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt has called for a major rethink of retirement, urging people to stay in the workforce until the age of 75 to align with longer life expectancies and ensure the sustainability of pension systems.
Speaking at the EPF’s International Social Well-being Convention here today, Reinfeldt, an economist who served as Sweden’s prime minister from 2006 to 2014, said many retirement norms were based on outdated assumptions.
“We still have people who think they should retire at 65 and enjoy decades of leisure, but many of them will live to 100,” he said.
