Migrant early retirement: Denmark discusses high retirement figures!

A scandal rocks peaceful Denmark! Migrants who are supposedly supposed to alleviate the impending labor shortage are taking early retirement in droves. An analysis by the Danish Employers' Association (DA) reveals a shocking truth: over half of non-Western migrants aged 50 to 67 leave work early. Among them, people from Afghanistan, Iraq and the former Yugoslav states are particularly affected. In comparison, within the Danish population, only eleven percent of the same age group retire early.

These alarming figures raise questions about the effectiveness of Denmark's pension regulations. The employers' association explains the high rate with the fact that many of those affected have physically demanding jobs or are suffering from difficult health conditions due to difficult flight circumstances. But that's not enough for DA labor market director Erik Simonsen: In an interview with Boys freedom he calls for tougher rules to prevent abuse and promote the integration of these migrants into the labor market.

The crisis of early retirement

This debate does not stop at the German borders. Although a direct comparison is difficult due to different pension systems, it is worth taking a look at German conditions. In Germany it is necessary to have worked subject to social security contributions for at least five years in order to retire. Nevertheless, an interesting picture emerges: 13 percent of German citizens aged 50 to 65 receive their pension every month, while the figure is eleven percent among migrants in the same age group.

The findings are also explosive World, which reveal further differences between the origin groups. Around 20 percent of Turkish migrants retire early, while Iraqis (five percent), Afghans (six percent) and Kosovars (four percent) benefit less from early retirement.

Conclusion

What do these figures tell us about the efficiency of pension and integration policy? It is clear that the problem does not stop at the borders of the Scandinavian countries, but also affects Germany! There is flexibility here, but also a need for action when it comes to integration into the labor market and at the same time ensuring fair access to early retirement. The facts speak for themselves: reforms are required!
