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.

    Denmark has been seeing a negative population growth; that’s a real problem for retirement schemes that rely on current taxes paying for retirees

    And they’re particularly xenophobic, so no immigration to beef up the numbers

        Thank god in the Netherlands we are not and we did not elect a far right party as the biggest party, oh wait…

        I hostely fear for the next 5 years, with far right (and anti science, anti woke, anti freedom, anti any progressive idea people had after 1950s) gaining more traction.
