PRESS STATEMENT “Pension levels must be raised again”

Hans-Jürgen Urban: “The results of the inquiry show once again that there is a fundamental need for reform in the statutory pension system. Pension levels must be raised again. Furthermore, women in particular—who face insufficient pensions due to interrupted work histories—must be protected from poverty. To put the pension system on a solid footing, IG Metall calls for the tax-funded financing of social programs and swift steps toward an employment-based insurance system that includes everyone.”
