This pension proposal is a slap in the face for all students - Germany’s pension reform could force scholars to work years longer
The proposal, emerging from Berlin’s Black-Red coalition of the CDU and SPD, shifts the focus from a set retirement age to a minimum of 45 contribution years. Supporters claim it rewards long-term workers, but opponents warn it creates a two-tier system. Scholars, who often start careers later after years of study, would be forced to work beyond the current retirement age.
The reform would reshape retirement rules, but its impact remains contentious. If approved, it could push scholars to work longer while allowing others to retire sooner. The debate now centres on whether the plan balances fairness with the practical needs of Germany’s workforce.
