NST Leader: Rethinking Retirement

  • On Thursday, Denmark's parliament approved a law that will gradually increase the retirement age to 70 by 2040 for individuals whose birthdates fall after the end of 1970.
  • The law follows a background of indexing retirement age to life expectancy since 2006, with increases every five years and a change to 68 years in 2030.
  • The vote passed with 81 lawmakers in favor and 21 opposed, sparking protests led by trade unions concerned about working until age 70.
  • Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen indicated that the government is reconsidering the policy of automatically raising the retirement age, suggesting possible future changes.
  • This legislation marks a major shift in Denmark's pension policy and raises questions about sustainability, flexibility, and the social impact of higher retirement ages.
