How sensible is the German government’s pension package from an economic perspective? Will the younger generation also benefit from it? And what reforms can we expect from the pension commission?
Christian Bayer, professor of macroeconomics at ECONtribute at the University of Bonn, conducts research on fiscal policy and inequality. We talk about how the German government’s pension package can be evaluated from an economic perspective, whether it distributes the burdens unevenly, and whether the pension system can still be reformed at this point.
This episode is about rhetoric, retirement, and reforms.
