The Danes will work until the age of seventy – Danish Parliament decided on Thursday. However, the working time will be extended gradually. The premiere of this country Mette Frederiksen promised that this limit would not be increased, despite the further expected life expectancy.
The decision to work until the age of 70 applies to Danes born after December 31, 1970. Changes, although milder, will also include people approaching the senior age. In 2030, the retirement age will be 68, and in 2035 it will be raised to 69 years. However, the extension of the retirement age from the current 67 to 70 is to take place in 2040.

Increasing the retirement age in Denmark
The changes were supported by the vast majority of folly (parliament), although during a two -hour debate it was not without critical voices. A positive decision results from the agreement signed by the leading parties in 2006 on the automatic increase in retirement age along with the extending of people's lives.
If this rule was maintained, in 2070 the Danes would go to pension at the age of 74. According to the social democratic promise of Frederiksen, in the future, there is no longer a radical shift of retirement age. The political agreement in this matter is to be renegotiated.
