Denmark is set to have the highest retirement age in Europe after its parliament adopted a law raising it to 70 by 2040.

The retirement age at 70 will apply to all people born after 31 December 1970.

        From what I have heard from other Swedish people working in Denmark, it’s much easier to get fired there compared to in Sweden.

        They also invented capitalism. So, you know…

        Edit: I was wrong, thinking of the Dutch, not the Danes.

            Capitalism’s been around in various forms for a while, but the rise of specific types of capitalism are attributed to specific countries and their influence. The Dutch East India trading company was the first to establish what we know as “Finance Capitalism”, which was out of Commercial Capitalism. This is largely what the Dutch are still using today. A form of Capitalism that can also contribute towards socialism, but not in the way a Marxist government would.

            It is one of the earliest forms of Capitalism that’s still alive today.

              Sure, but what the hell does that have to do with Denmark? The Dutch live in the Netherlands - totally different culture, language, history. I don’t think we Danes have invented ANY novel form of financial instrument or financial system.
