“Germany is not Denmark. Comparisons of different social and solidarity systems inevitably lag. In view of the working conditions, employees have to be able to create a higher retirement age. This is illusory for the majority under the current working conditions. In the end there are pension cuts.
The Minister of Economic Affairs would be well advised to keep your fingers away from half -baked social policy. We do not constantly need new demands for higher standard age limits, but working conditions that make work possible up to today’s standard age limit. If the minister has suggestions for old-age and aging work, she should submit it. ”
