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. Currently, you retire there at the age of 67.
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 signed by leading parties in 2006. agreements on the automatic increase in retirement age with the extending of the lives of people.
If this rule was maintained, then in 2070. The Danes would retire 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.
In Denmark, the same retirement age for women and men applies.
The problem for the pension system is not only the extending life time, but also the decreasing number of children emerging. In 2024, the fertility rate was only 1.466 a child per woman. In 2008 it was 1.89, in 2021 1.72.
For comparison, the fertility rate in Poland was calculated last year. at 1.11. If it does not rise here, the retirement age will have to be increased, or to change the pension system.
