Drei Irrtümer über die gesetzliche Rente

Wolfgang Nagl and Joachim Ragnitz

Wirtschaftsdienst, 2012, vol. 92, issue 11, 759-762

Abstract: In the public debate on old-age poverty in Germany there are three often-heard preconceptions about the statutory pension system: first, raising the legal retirement age to 67 automatically leads to lower pensions. Second, the average level of statutory pension is lower in Eastern Germany. Third, an expansion of the social contribution ceiling would improve the financial situation of the statutory pension system. In this study, we clarify and discuss these three preconceptions.
