The increase also compared to pre-Covid levels. In Eurostat data, Italy is the second-longest-living member country, 83.5 years. Trento and Bolzano among the longest-living provinces in Europe

    Can’t wait until the conservative politicians quote this statistic to raise the retirement age… again.

    So if you start your work life at 16 and retire at 67, that will give you 51 years working, 14,5 years in retirement and 16 years as a child. That is the “best” case here in Germany, most people won’t work that long, other countries have lower retirement ages and many people are doing additional schooling and university. But even that means that you have to put away / pay into retirement fund 14,5/51 = 28% of your income during your work life to support your retirement.

    This will drop off again with climate desasters and wars to come. The Boomers and Gen X will see most of the benefits of the technical advances, without seeing most of the consequences.

    My grandma died at 89 last month.

    If the idiot white-wingers didn’t smash the health budget she might still be with us. Maybe the nurses wouldn’t be so overwork they let her die of anemia.

      Instead of the comma there should be a colon. It’s not the life expectancy of the European Union, but of it’s residents.

    Soon to be median age in EU. Plastic surgeons tightening those dry clams are making a fortune.

      yeah who wouldn’t want to spend the last 20 endless years of your shitty life in a for-profit “retirement home”.

News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They’re cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: RT, news-pravda:com, GB News, Fox, Breitbart, Daily Caller, OAN, sociable:co, citjourno:com, brusselssignal:eu, europesays:com, geo-trends:eu, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
  • on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to any of the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].
