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.

You know they know that most people won’t even make it to 70 and will be working their whole lives.

That's not completely true.

The Danish news website dr.dk has made a tool to check when you can get your pension its at the bottom of the article. https://www.dr.dk/ligetil/politikerne-haever-pensionsalderen-hvad-betyder-det-dig
