From 2040, Danish people born after 31 December 1970 will be eligible to retire at 70 years old.

Denmark is set to have the highest retirement age in Europe after its parliament adopted a law raising it to 70 by 2040.

The retirement age at 70 will apply to all people born after 31 December 1970.

    Having relatives that died when they were 70 and seeing stuff like this is quite depressing.

      That’s sort of the goal of retirement, you aren’t supposed to live that long afterwards

      It’s not a vacation, it’s a “we will take care of you once you can no longer put money into the machine as long as you spent your life taking care of other people who could no longer put money into the machine”
