Since 2006, the Denmark has closed the life of his life for the official retirement age and revised every five years. It is currently 67, but in 2030 to 69 to 69.
In 70, the retirement age will apply to all people born in December 31, 1970.
The new law received 81 votes and 21 votes on Thursday.
However, Social Democratic Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen last year, the principle of landslide will be discussed again in the end.
“We do not believe that the retirement age is automatically increased.”
Tommas Jensen, a 47-year-old roofing, said that the change in the Danish media is “unfounded”.
“We are working and working and working, but we can’t continue,” he said.

“I paid my taxes with my life. It should be the time to be with children and grandchildren,” Mr Jensen said.
