What do the parties in Bremen say on pensions?

The FDP wants to move the public pension system to a funded model in the long run, arguing that this is the only way to keep it affordable. The Aktienrente (stock-based pension) should be expanded and sped up for this purpose. In addition, the retirement age should become flexible, following the Swedish model.

The FDP wants to change the pension system. In the long run, pension money should be invested in the capital market. The stock-based pension should grow. People should choose for themselves when to retire. People who work while drawing a pension should be allowed to earn more.

At the federal level, the Left advocates retirement at 65, a minimum pension of €1,200 and a pension level of 53 percent. It rejects a stock-based pension as partial privatization.
