The cabinet has decided to consolidate the pension level and improve it for mothers. In the debate about an extended working life, Lefte-Chief Schwerdtner is open to a "moderate increase".
According to the Merz government, the pension level should not continue to fall until 2031, which means higher contributions for employers.
It is the first step in the reform process: the pension level should not fall further by 2031 and millions of mothers will get more, but the major future issues of pension provision remain open for the time being.


SPD Labour Minister Bärbel Bas sharply criticizes the plans for longer working lives. A new pension law is supposed to secure the level at 48 percent.
A stable pension level and the expansion of the mother's pension – Social Minister Bärbel Bas brings her pension law into the cabinet today. "No one can pay that – you can forget it that way," says World Economic Editor Holger Zschäpitz.
Actually, it's a summer break. But the Federal Cabinet has a lot of important plans on the table. From the pension to wage loyalty, from the undeclared work to the ticket to Germany.
