The delay in retirement age is an issue that worries workers a lot since they will be the ones who, in the future, depend on the Social Security pension system. In this sense, when you look at the other countries of the European Union, certain changes can be appreciated to reach our country. One of them, the retirement age delay at 70has already been approved by Denmark and the Catalan economist Gonzalo Bernardos is clear that he will also arrive in Spain.
The law makes clear how much and in which assumptions workers may request retirement to Social Security. The amount to be collected or the viability of the benefit will depend on factors such as contributions and whether or not it is done before reaching retirement age that by 2026 It is 66 years and 10 months for those who have quoted the minimum required.

Gonzalo Bernardos has explained what would happen if the retirement age was delayed in Spain by law. For the economist, it is most likely to follow the tendency to raise the retirement age, as the Danes have already done and advise International Employability Experts.
The crisis in the labor market makes the quotes in danger
Bernardos has recalled in one of the programs he collaborates with, ‘The Sixth Xplica’ that the retirement problem must be solved by changing some things. “Prepare for what is coming, Denmark is the first country to legislate so that retirement is delayed at 70.” “We will follow your example, sooner or later.”
Documentation does not lack, and the economist has also been blunt with the help that Germany has approved for the young people with whom they will complement pensions. “He’s going to be expensive,” he said.
Because young people are still in the eye of the hurricane when talking about employment, access to housing and, in this case, retirement and pensions. If the most recent EPA data (active population survey) and those of the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy, There will be problems to achieve generational relief.
The workers will withdraw and young people must access the labor market but the statistics are worrying. As the magazine stands out Weekfor every 3 retirees only one person will find employment.
In this way, in 10 years there will be 5.3 million retired people in Spain. And on the other side, 1.8 million young people will sign a employment contract.
“Spain will follow the path of Denmark” to delay retirement age
The economist is very clear. “In Denmark, the legislation has already been used and by 2040 retirement will be at 70. Spain, they have no doubt, that path will follow.”
He points out that it is not an easy road and that “we are not prepared, although there is no other way out. Spain has a deficit of 65,000 million euros that will continue to rise. And there is only one way to reduce it without affecting young people who pay the quotes or retirees who charge the pension and it is a way that almost no one likes: retire later”.
Delay in retirement age will affect young people
The delay in the retirement age will affect young people who are already working those who will access the labor market in the next dates. The economist wanted to defend the work options of those people who want to start with a job.
Of course, you have to change certain things such as low salaries, lack of vacancies and problems to access decent housing “regardless of whether there is a rent or a mortgage.”
“Now it only remains that young people, who already earn little, charge less because they have to pay more.” “This system is paying more and more and raising less,” he said, citing social security data, than Every 7 minutes a new retiree is added to the system.
“The problem is not in the current deficit but in which it will arrive in the coming years, many who are waiting to retire will soon come to retire at 65 years in the event that they have quoted enough, if it is much or the 67. To the rest, I see much later,” he concluded.
