Abstract: The 2001 pension reform in Germany established the right of employees to voluntarily direct part of their income into occupational pension schemes. This individual personal responsibility on the part of employees is influenced by social and economic aspects of their working environment, and also by the activities of trade unions, employers and works councils. Based on data from the WSI’s 2010 survey of works councils, the article analyses the influence of these factors and of socio-economic features of employees on the usage of these deferred compensation schemes. By means of a linear regression analysis it is demonstrated that some of these factors have indeed a positive influence on the decisions made by employees. This result indicates ways of how politics could influence the political design of occupational pension schemes.
