There are clear regional differences and gradient East-West. In the West, the average pension is 1729 after 45 years, in the east – 1527 euros. This is most of all since 1787 euros in Hamburg, the bottom is Thuring with 1491 euros.
On average, men get more than women
Men with at least 45 years of insurance receive 1778 euros on average throughout the country. For women, the paid pension is an average of 1449 euros.
Barsh said DPA: “If every fourth pensioner should cost less than 1300 euros after 45 years, this is a poverty certificate for politics, an obviously incorrect pension policy.” The average pension shows that “how is not enough legislative pension provides financial work in old age.”
From small pensions to large quantities
Nevertheless, the government notes that the numbers do not fully reflect the financial situation of the victim. The height of small pensions and high pension amounts are distributed.
According to the ministry, this is also due to the composition of the requested time: “relatively low pensions can also occur over 45 years of insurance, since this includes not only contributions, but also without contributions.” Among other things, the times of school and university training or unemployment without unemployment benefits are listed. It can also partially play a role.
“Low pension speaks little about the standard of life”
In addition, the government indicates the difference between the pension and income as a whole: “However, a low pension from statutory pension insurance speaks little about the standard of life in old age, since further income and household income as a whole are related to the whole.”
For example, women have a small pension only if they were left without their own income for many years – even if, for example, with a partner, they have an adequate common household income.
Barkch calls for a shift, of course
Barsh confirmed the claims to the left cover for a turn in pension policy. While the pension level in other European countries is more than 80 percent, pensioners in Germany would have to get by with mini -trees in Germany, the politician said. ““ Stabilization ”of the pension level, promised by the federal government, is actually not good news, but amid reality, a threat that should remain as it is.” Bart demanded that all employees contribute to the Pension Fund, and not just take up.
The Federal Minister of Barbel BES (SPD) presented a draft for its first pension law at the end of June. The pension level should remain stabilized at 48 percent. Therefore, pensioners can hope for the growth of pensions, despite the aging of society.
The pension level is indicated by the attitude of pensions to wages – if it is stable, pensions are not behind wages. While employers criticize related billions of accounts, trade unions call for a significantly higher level of pension.
