Thus, the OECD expert Monika Queisser said in an interview in the Frankfurter Rundschau on 18 January, the German pension system Although am currently on a "solid basis" because previous reforms had been carried out. For example, the poverty rate was below pensioners today at about two percent. The problem will the situation for some of those who went in 30 or 40 years to retire and vorwiesen major gaps in their contributions to public pension funds. Their pension rights subject later, often under the basic insurance.
