Und sie bewegt sich doch – Anmerkungen zur aktuellen rentenpolitischen Debatte

Abstract

Within the German debate on pension policies the general benefit level of pension insurance as a central adjustment screw has made a comeback. Political parties and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs have made proposals towards stabilising or increasing the benefit level. Such measures are necessary if pension benefits are to increase in line with wages again; they are also necessary for adequate incomes in old-age. However, based on the calculation of the general benefit level, the search for the exact “right” pension level is misleading. In addition, the question of financing pensions is a matter of political dispute: what price is acceptable for a strong public pension system?
