Denmark to raise early retirement pension by 3,095 DKK monthly

The Danish government plans to raise monthly early retirement payments by 3,095 Danish kroner. This change will increase the benefit from 15,650 to 18,745 Danish kroner. The scheme is commonly known as the Arne pension.

Minister for Employment Ane Halsboe-Jørgensen announced the proposed increase. She hopes the higher benefit will encourage more people to use the scheme. This decision follows official projections made during the summer. This report was provided by The Copenhagen Post.
