Flexible retirement age and a basic pension

The FDP wants to make the retirement age more flexible so that people can decide for themselves how long they work. To fight old-age poverty, it backs the nationwide introduction of a "Basis-Rente" (basic pension).

The FDP wants people to decide for themselves when to retire. Those who want to work longer should be allowed to. Part-time work in old age should not hurt the pension. A basic pension should help against poverty in old age.

Tax-free retirement savings account and higher saver's allowance

The SSW wants to give tax advantages to private retirement saving through securities. It proposes a private retirement account with tax-free returns and a substantially higher saver's allowance.

Many people save for old age on their own. The SSW wants to help them. There would be a special account for retirement savings. Gains in this account stay tax-free until retirement. Savers should also pay less tax on gains in general.

Turn pensions into one insurance for all workers

The SSW wants the statutory pension, as the main pillar of retirement provision, to be designed in a socially fair way to prevent old-age poverty. In the long run, everyone who works would pay into one shared pay-as-you-go system.

The SSW wants to change the pension system. Everyone who works should pay into it. That includes self-employed people. People who earn a lot should pay more. This should mean fewer poor older people.
