Denmark Reaffirms Pension Rules Tied to Life Expectancy

Denmark will keep tying its state pension age to average life expectancy. The government and right-wing parties have reaffirmed a key 2006 agreement.

This deal means higher life expectancy leads to more working years. Four government parties agreed to this reaffirmation. The parties Venstre and De Konservative joined the agreement as well. The decision protects a core part of Denmark's 2006 welfare rules.

Workers in Denmark should expect to retire at an older age over time. The relevant Ministry manages the calculations for these pension age adjustments. This update was reported by The Copenhagen Post.
