The number of individuals receiving early retirement benefits in Denmark has surged since 2019, reaching over 250,000 recipients. This marks a considerable increase and raises concerns about the potential long-term impact on public finances.

The current trend indicates a growing number of people opting for early retirement, potentially leading to a record number of citizens relying on lifelong public support.

Experts are closely monitoring the situation to assess the underlying factors contributing to this rise and to evaluate the sustainability of the current welfare system in light of these developments.
