Denmark has raised the retirement age to 70 years, setting a record among the world's major economies. RIA Novosti found out about this after studying the specifics of the national legislation of the G20 and the European Union, Tengrinews.kz reports.
In addition to Copenhagen, 14 other countries are now increasing the retirement age, with a third of them increasing it for women only.
Most often, citizens of countries around the world retire at 65 years old: this applies to both women and men. But in some countries, the established age is higher than the specified period: for example, in Australia, Greece and the Netherlands, it is 67 years for both sexes.
The retirement age is lower, for example, in Sweden – 63 years, in Slovakia and France – 64. In India, the basic retirement age is 60 years, but it depends on the area of employment and region of residence.
The most common practice is to have this figure equal for both sexes. They differ, for example, in Turkey (60 years for men and 58 years for women), Poland (65 and 60 years) and some Latin American countries.
In addition to Denmark, another third of the G20 and EU representatives are raising the retirement age for their citizens. In Belgium, Germany, Spain, Slovenia, upon completion of reforms, it will increase to 67 years, in Indonesia, Latvia (already this year) and Lithuania – to 65 years, in China – to 63 years for men and to 55 for women – representatives of blue-collar professions, to 58 – for office workers.
At the same time, several countries have decided to raise the rate only for women, thereby establishing gender equality in this respect. These are Austria, Romania, Croatia and Switzerland – all up to 65 years. Bulgaria is raising the age for both sexes, but also wants to achieve unification in this regard – the same 65 years. In Kazakhstan, the retirement age for men is 63 years, for women – 61 years.
In Tajikistan, the retirement age for men is 63 years, for women – 58 years.
