The economic expert Joachim Ragnitz has called for a decoupling of pension increases from wage developments.
"Only if pensions rise more slowly than wages will the coffers be spared and taxpayers and contribution payers will not be overwhelmed," Ragnitz writes in an article in "Ifo Dresden Reports".
He pointed out that the many baby boomers were about to retire.
Dresden - The political decisions of the past few years would lead to a gigantic financial hole.
In 2050, around 2.6 percent of economic output would also have to be used for pensions, Ragnitz continued.
He fears that the coalition partners will make further expensive pension decisions.
