Low-income pensioners: More pensions for a group in old age. According to the model, pension benefits for higher-income groups would be cut.
So far, there has been little political response to the reform proposal, according to Fabian Kindermann of the Regensburg University of Economics. He believes that “higher pension contributions and cuts in pension benefits” are “pre-programmed” in view of the impending demographic change, he says. In order to absorb the consequences of demographic change over the next 20 to 30 years, he believes it is essential to mobilize the entire workforce potential.
