Mayor Bovenschulte Calls for Sustainable Pension Finance, Welcomes Government's 48% Pension Level Commitment
Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte has underscored the significance of the statutory pension, stressing that it serves as the primary old-age security for many Germans. He has called for a sustainable solution to finance the pension insurance, highlighting the risk of poverty and social exclusion for pensioners, particularly women.
Bovenschulte welcomes the German federal government's decision to maintain the statutory pension level at a stable 48 percent until 2031. This commitment, outlined in the comprehensive pension package adopted by the cabinet in August 2025, aims to secure the standard of living for many people. The mayor views this as a crucial step to ensure the statutory pension remains the most important source of income in old age for most Germans.
Bovenschulte advocates for a 'double safety line' in the pension system. He believes that stability in both pension and contribution levels is essential to protect pensioners from financial hardship. This approach would help mitigate the risk of poverty and social exclusion, especially for women who often rely more heavily on the statutory pension.
