The majority of Germans are opposed to abolishing the “Rente mit 63” (pension at age 63), according to a survey conducted by the Insa opinion research institute for “Bild am Sonntag”. The poll revealed that 68 percent of respondents reject the measure, while only 24 percent support it; eight percent offered no answer.
The survey also indicates that the early retirement scheme holds significant personal relevance for many. Fifty-six percent of respondents stated that they intend to use the “Rente mit 63” or have already done so, compared to 32 percent who denied this, and 12 percent who remained undecided.
Furthermore, skepticism prevails regarding proposed social contributions for mini-jobs. Sixty-one percent of respondents oppose the requirement for future social contributions on mini-jobs, although 30 percent are in favor, and nine percent did not register an opinion.
Overall, Germans express dissatisfaction with the federal government’s pension policy: 77 percent are dissatisfied, while only 16 percent are satisfied, with seven percent making no statement.
