SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel has sharply criticized the proposal by the Bundesbank, the to increase retirement age. In such a thought only high earners could come with little physical exertion.
SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel holds little of the proposal for a pension at 69. “a skilled worker, a shop assistant, a nurse, holding a geriatric nurse the for a daft idea. I also “, the Economics Minister said when visiting the disused Zollverein colliery in Essen.
the Bundesbank had recommended, by 2060 to raise the retirement age to 69 years. It justified its proposal so that a further decline in pension levels could be after 2030 prevented by a longer working life. The federal government rejected the proposal. Under the current legislation, the retirement age is increased to 2029 in monthly increments to 67.
As bankers with the central bank could you have such ideas, Gabriel said. “These are people with high income, low physical activity, high life expectancy and very large pensions.”
economic policy of the Union, however, welcomed the proposal. According to the Economic Council of the CDU the PAYG social security is demographic change only grew when the ratio of workers to pensioners “halfway in Lot” remains. “If we do not want that either decrease the pensions of older drastically or increase the contribution rates of the working population dramatically, remains solely an extension of working lives as a solution,” said the Secretary General of the Association, Wolfgang Steiger.
Gabriel and CSU chief Horst Seehofer request to freeze the pension level at the current level and not to allow further lower. If the two prevail with this requirement, this could cost nearly 600 billion by the year 2040 is approached. This is evident from calculations produced, created the Basler Prognos Institute for SPIEGEL.

the pillars of social security
unemployment
Every employee in Germany is compulsory member of the unemployment insurance. The main performance of the insurance is the Unemployment Benefit I (ALG I) , which replaces a portion of the former net income and is paid up to one year after the loss of a point. For older unemployed exceptions. Runs from the payment of ALG I, without a new site was found, then Unemployment Benefit II (ALG II) is paid. The instrument – also known as Hartz IV – was created in 2005 when the former unemployment and welfare benefits have been merged. The contribution rate for unemployment insurance is currently 3.0 percent of gross salary. Employers pay this rate for each employee.
Health
There are two types of health insurance – the Legal (SHI) and Private (PKV) . Around 90 per cent of workers are compulsorily insured in the GKV. The contribution rate is currently 15.5 percent for all insured. In addition, the health insurance companies may charge independent of income posts. Since early 2009, all flow contributions to a health fund from which they are distributed to the POS. Access to PHI is only self-employed workers and above an income threshold open.
pension
The contributions are financed by a PAYG system, in which the working people pay the benefits of retirees. Based on the contributions paid, the future pension amount is calculated. Currently, the contribution rate is 19.6 percent . In January 2013, the contribution drops to 18.9 percent. The statutory retirement age is currently being raised gradually from 65 years to 67 years.
care
Long-term care is the youngest of the social insurance in Germany. It is a basic insurance that covers part of the cost of care.

A fundamental pension reform, which (rather than the number of social insurance contributions) links the amount of benefits to the performance of the economy, of course, is not at issue. Typical.
