Social reform in Denmark

On June 20 Denmark's government and opposition have agreed to pass the so-called Welfare Reform. Among other things, the reform foresees raising the retirement age to 67 and new incentives for finishing university courses quickly. Some commentators describe the results as an uninspired compromise, but the Copenhagen daily is relieved that the reform is actually being pushed through: "The remarkable thing is that the reform carried a majority of the votes despite all its unpopular aspects, and also that it has been passed at a time when the Danish economy is doing well…The government carefully prepared Danish citizens for the measures over a long period of time. This has met with acceptance because a slight change in course now is better than radical measures later. France and Germany will envy us our reform. The important lesson to be learned here is that the people are willing to listen to good arguments."
