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 attached retirement age to life expectancy. This makes economic sense but it’s really cruel. We’re not getting healthier. Our healthspan seems to be going down, so we live longer in illness.

      Old people’s health care is good business as there is essentially endless demand.
