improving work-life balance
aaaaand now we know nothing will be done.
(until doing work becomes worth it and doesn’t take over your life and until the power is with the employees and bosses have to treat workers with respect, there will not be more children. governments do nothing to support people with families. paternity / maternity leave is a joke, childcare costs are astronomical, both parents have to work…it’s bonkers that this is normalised and in some ways I’m glad birthrates are going down, as scaring our slave-drivers with potentially reduced profits is the only way anything will ever change and they can’t do anything about it EXCEPT concede some freedom to the workers)
When will it become a good thing for us not to have to slave away for some corporation every day of our lives until death?
hey hey this is going too far. We could just make it mandatory to have at least four children to get more than minimum wage and put the children in the company Kindergarden where they can already
work a bitehh learn practical skills that improve their chances on the labor market as adults.
Brussels also says it is “crucial to empower older workers to remain active for longer” through upskilling programmes and flexible working hours, and urges businesses to overcome “preconceived notions and stereotypes” about the elderly.
When France bumped the retirement age up to 64, it made a lot of people go nuts. An increase is gonna require some political capital.
It is also peak neoliberalism. We are richer than ever yet people are supposed to work until they are in their grave. God forbid we’d fairly tax wealth and inheritance creating a society where everyone can live in decency.
Sadly not all people are like the French. Other countries already raised the retirement age several times over the last decades and the people did nothing to stop their governments.
Good news! Brussels, and most of Europe, will be decent spots for migrants trying to escape the equatorial regions due to climate change.
Depends a bit on what happens to the ocean currents. It might get a lot colder in Europe if the gulf stream collapses.
