Develop the statutory pension and strengthen retirement savings

The CDU regards the pay-as-you-go statutory pension as the most important pillar of retirement security and wants to develop it further in light of demographic change. Occupational and private retirement provision are to be strengthened alongside it. The party plans to bring its own initiatives to the federal level.

The CDU wants to keep the public pension and adapt it. People who worked for a long time should get more than others. More workers should have a company pension. Private saving for old age should also get easier.

Count home care more toward pensions

The CDU wants to push at the federal level for caring for relatives at home to count more toward pensions. People who have provided care for a long time should not end up poor in old age. The platform notes that women in particular provide care and that their careers suffer as a result.

Many people care for relatives at home. Often these are women. They work less and later get a smaller pension. The CDU wants to change that. Care at home should count more for the pension.
