More Swedish pensioners take their flight abroad.

Monday, 31 December 2012
One of the things that will become more common in the coming years will be that many pensioners will not be living in many Europeans developed economies. Or only the wealthy ones will have their places fix fr them. It is gradually emerging that the wealthy parts of Europe is becoming hostile to old people and many of them are making plans to retire somewhere else.

In the UK, Germany and the Nordic countries, which had traditionally been places, praised for their care of the old with generous welfare to them. These are changing, something reminiscent of a "war on the old" in out as governments tend to balance their books on the backs of the old, poor and the less influential.

In Sweden for example, more and more retirees are moving abroad. Today, 114,000 people residing in countries other than Sweden are those living on Swedish public pension. Ten years ago, that figure was 72,000, according to the Swedish daily, Dagens Nyheter.

Most of them (more than 44,200) have settled in Finland, followed by Germany (about 15,800) and Norway (about 8800). One explanation is that more of them were immigrants, who worked in Sweden, after retirement, they choose to retire back to their home countries.
It is popularly known that many Swedish old people - those born in Sweden are mowing to the cheaper countries of the world every year to escape poor treatment in care homes and expensive and isolated life as an old person.
