Experts plan big changes for the pension

21. June 2026, 12:15

A group of experts made new pension plans. This group is the 'Renten-Kommission'. The experts want a safe pension system. A key point is the 'Renten-Eintritts-Alter'. People shall work longer in the future.

The retirement age shall rise slowly. A 4 year old child works maybe until 70. The pension at 63 ends soon. Sick people get help further. Some people criticize the plans.

Part of the pension goes into shares. This is the 'Kapital-Rente'. People pay more money for this. The expert Marcel Fratzscher says: The plans are not brave. He warns about poverty in old age. The politicians decide now.
