Give more weight to children in pension calculations

The AfD wants the number of one's own children to count more in calculating pensions, for example through extra pension points for child-raising periods. It also wants disadvantages from the conversion of East German pensions to be fully remedied.

People with children should get a higher pension. That is what the AfD wants. Some people from East Germany get too little pension today. The AfD wants to change that.

Pension credits for volunteer responders

The AfD wants to reward volunteer service in aid organizations with additional pension entitlements. This is meant to address recruitment problems, which the platform attributes in part to the end of conscription and alternative civilian service.

Many people volunteer with the fire department or the Red Cross. They get no money for it. The AfD wants them to get a higher pension in return. That should get more people to join.
