“Tobias Baudin, Communal: ”Equality is going in the wrong direction””
“the average life expectancy has increased steadily in Sweden since the 1800s.”
“But for women is progress the opposite – their life expectancy falls.”
“It’s frightening,” says Union president Tobias Baudin.”
“That we are living longer is a fact that is highlighted in everything from discussions about the pension scheme to healthcare challenges.”
“But it is a truth that applies to everyone.”
“the Statistics from statistics SWEDEN shows that low-skilled women’s life expectancy – when the others are increasing.”
“It’s different today than five years between how long women with low education, and their highly trained sisters are expected to live.”
“You also write: ”The biggest differences in longevity are found by level of education, which is the case for both women and men. It is not only a difference in the number of estimated years of life but there is also a difference in the number of years with long-term illness”.”
“”Strained circumstances””
“the Reasons for training can be linked to longevity is considered to be many different. Including the harder social and economic living conditions – as a result of lower salary and higher risk of unemployment.”
“– this group are at greater risk of living under strained circumstances than others. It can create both stress and less flexibility to make choices that promote their own health, ” says Karin Engström, researcher at the Folkhälsomyndigheten and associate professor in ethnology. “

“– It’s scary figures which show that both equality and gender equality are going in the wrong direction. This type of job is usually the toughest on the labour market. And these women want to do right for themselves and also work longer into old age, for they know via pensionsbeskeden how little they get if they stop too early, ” he says.”
“That women’s life expectancy now falls see Local the base as an expression of the growing differences between the people and a warning to the politicians.”
” I see so clearly the strong connection between what is happening politically around the pension scheme. Using the argument that life expectancy is increasing, but it does not for this group. Now, it needs to redouble their efforts. This development is unacceptable, ” says Baudin.”
“He means that it is now a question of improving pensions and expand opportunities for part-time pension and sickness benefit in order to equalize the living conditions between different groups in the labour market.n”
