Inside Denmark: The highest retirement age in Europe

Denmark has proposed raising the retirement age to 70 by 2040, making it the highest in Europe, but this change faces criticism from workers and unions, particularly affecting blue-collar employees who fear increased work demands. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has pledged to revisit the system for future increases, possibly speeding them up beyond current increments, while acknowledging the need for a different approach to ensure long-term sustainability. The government is also urging a reevaluation of how the ECHR is interpreted in light of migration challenges, arguing that existing legal frameworks are too restrictive when it comes to deporting dual citizens convicted of crimes.
