For individual people, this policy sounds fantastic. For the macroeconomy, this sounds kind of disastrous.
A policy that encourages less prime-age employment in a society that is already falling off the demographic cliff [1] seems really bad if your goal is to allow more people to spend more time using government benefits.
Poland is already going to struggle to support an aging population, and encouraging 35-year-olds to periodically remove themselves from the workforce feels like it will just accelerate the issue.
