From 2040, Danish people born after 31 December 1970 will be eligible to retire at 70 years old.

    For those who don’t want to read the whole thing:

    They’re raising it to 70 for all people born after Dec 31st, 1970. Also apparently Denmark automatically increases the retirement age with life expectancy, revised every five years.

      More bike lanes in Denmark = fewer kids getting run over by cars = higher average life expectancy since fewer people die when they are very young. Therefore, no pensions for 69 year olds. Amazing galaxy brain stuff.

      The bit at the end about the retirement age being raised in France is also infuriating. It just “had to be pushed through parliament by President Emmanuel Macron without a vote”. It had to be! There was no alternative.

        Well, you can look at life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at 60 as well.
