The age of retirement at 70 will refer to all people born after 31. December 1970. years.
The new law passed on Thursday with 81 votes for and 21 votes against.

“We no longer believe that retirement age needs to increase automatically,” she said, adding it in the eyes of her party “You can’t just solve people needed to work for a year.”
Tommas Jensen, a 47-year-old rover, told the Danish media that the change was “unreasonable”.
“We work and work and work, but we can’t continue to go,” he said.
He added that the situation may differ for those with working work, but that it would make it difficult for change difficult.
“I paid my taxes for the rest of my life. There should be time to be with children and grandchildren,” said Mr. Jensen to go out DK.
