Jörg Hofmann: “Many workers are already unable to work until they reach retirement age for health reasons and have to cope with significant reductions in their pensions. Raising the retirement age even further serves only to further reduce pensions. It is not at all helpful to contribute to further uncertainty among the public with such proposals.”
