The Danish Parliament adopted, Thursday, May 22, without strong opposition, a law noting the retirement age at 70 years from 2040, against 67 years currently; 81 deputies voted for and 21 against, said folketing on its website.
In Denmark, since the 2006 reform, the legal departure age has been indexed to life expectancy and revised every five years. In 2030, he went to 68 years, and in 2035, he will be 69 years.
The new law sets the retirement age at 70 years for all people born after December 31, 1970, in other words those who were 69 years old in 2040 and after.
In the summer of 2024, the head of the government, the social democrat put Frederiksen, 47, said he was ready to review the system, once the age of departure has reached 70 years. “We no longer believe in the automatic nature of the rise in retirement”she said in August on a daily basis Berlingske.
