Migrant-Frühente: Denmark discusses high retirement figures!

A scandal shakes the peaceful Denmark! Migrants who are supposed to alleviate the impending shortage of workers go into early masses. An analysis of the Danish employers' association (DA) reveals a shocking truth: over half of the non-western migrants aged 50 and 67, the work lays down at an early stage. Among them are particularly affected by people from Afghanistan, Iraq and the former Yugoslav states. In comparison, only eleven percent of the same age group in the Danish population.

These alarming numbers force questions about the effectiveness of the Danish pension regulations. The employers' association explains the high quota with the fact that many of the affected people do physically exhausting jobs or are health -related due to difficult escape circumstances. But that is not enough for the work market director Erik Simonsen: in an interview with the boys Freedom he calls for harder rules to prevent abuse and to 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 standards. In Germany, it is necessary to have worked for at least five years subject to social security contributions to retire. Nevertheless, there is an interesting picture: 13 percent of German citizens between the ages of 50 and 65 are pension every month, among the migrants of the same age group it is eleven percent.

Brisant are also the findings of the world reveal between the groups of origin. Around 20 percent of Turkish migrants are betrayed at an early stage, while Iraqis (five percent), Afghans (six percent) and Kosovars (four percent) benefit less from the early last.

FAZIT

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