Here's the simple rule that defeats all economic arguments - a healthy workforce works better than a sick one and more people working = more money in the economy.
Argument over.

Helsinki libraries branch out:
skis and tennis equipment made available for borrowing

This coming winter Helsinki residents will even be able to borrow skis from some of the city’s libraries. At least the Roihuvuori and Herttoniemi libraries plan to add a few pairs of cross-country skis to their collections.
During the summer it has already been possible to borrow - on short loans - certain sporting and outdoor leisure equipment donated by the City of Helsinki's Sports Department. Some of the borrowed equipment has been in great demand within the nearby communities, including even the Finnish-rules baseball equipment. This was a revelation, since baseball is generally viewed as a provincial sport and something that hardboiled city-dwellers would traditionally view as very "un-Helsinki-like".
Last weekend’s warm and sunny weather immediately caused a fuss at the lending desk of the Roihuvuori library. “On Friday all the baseball bats and gloves were taken out”, explains Leeni Hurskainen, director of the Roihuvuori and Herttoniemi libraries. The explanation is simple. “I suspect not too many Helsinki residents actually ever get around to actually buying such equipment.”

First it was literacy, now it's baseball bats - those damn socialists!
