The age limit for retirement in Germany will be increased from the current 67 to 70, said the leader of the MP CDU / CSU JENS SPAHN.
By visiting the ARD public service, Spahn said that the current retirement system with 67 years will be fully introduced until 2030/31. years, but that it will not stop there, because with a longer life, the working life must grow.
– If we want to preserve the scope of social benefits without a great burden for future generations, we will have to work longer – he pointed out.
During the 1930s, the age limit will gradually increase, first a year, and then monthly, the Velt reports.
Spahn emphasized that now is not the right time for the political debate on concrete changes, but that the public must hear the truth about the sustainability of the pension system.
This statement comes after the proposal of the Council of Economic Experts, formed by the Minister of Katarina Reiche (CDU). They suggested the bonding of the age limit for the retirement for the lifespan, the abolition of retirement with 63 years and the reintroduction of the so-called sustainability factor.
In Germany since 2012. The age limit for pensions gradually increases from 65 to 67 years and will be fully reached by 2031. years. Earlier retirement is possible with reduced income, while special conditions apply to many years of insured persons and persons with disabilities.
