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

    Since 2006, Denmark has tied the official retirement age to life expectancy and has revised it every five years. It is currently 67 but will rise to 68 in 2030 and to 69 in 2035.

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

    Absolutely going in the wrong direction.

    I wish more countries would riot like France over increasing retirement ages.

      That would seem only fair. Except the politicians don’t think so, because they have a way lower retirement age!!

    Retirement pension maximum ceilling, fiscal reform to tax companies profits, raise minimum pension to equal minimum wage, incentivize savings. Oh, and tax people accordingly to their income.
