Make retirement more flexible and allow part-time pensions

The CDU wants to make the transition from work to retirement more flexible and is pushing for a part-time pension. Older people should be able to keep working voluntarily so that companies retain their knowledge. At the same time, pensions are to remain reliable.

The CDU wants to make the move into retirement more flexible. People should be able to get a part-time pension. Those who want to can keep working in old age. This should be voluntary. Pensions should stay secure.

According to the program, the background is that the baby boomer generation will soon retire. Companies are to receive help in offering age-appropriate jobs and keeping employees healthy at work for a long time. Future pension reforms are to take into account older people's lifetime achievements and economic developments such as inflation. To counter poverty in old age, benefits are to be easy to access and designed for seniors, so that nobody gives up entitlements out of shame or because of paperwork.

„Arbeitsende und Renteneintritt wollen wir weiter flexibilisieren und bürokratiearm miteinander verzahnen. Wir setzen uns dafür ein, dass eine Teilzeit-Rente möglich wird.“

Translation: We want to make the end of work and the start of retirement more flexible and link them with little bureaucracy. We are working to make a part-time pension possible.
