Germany's pension system is under pressure. To strengthen retirement provisions, the federal government is planning an early retirement pension: every child will receive ten euros a month from the state, which will be paid into a retirement savings account. A new study by Deutsches Aktieninstitut and Vanguard shows how other countries such as Israel, Canada and the United Kingdom are successfully using state-subsidised children's accounts and what lessons Germany can learn from this. The article on t-online picks up on this and explains that the reform can only have a long-term effect if it is designed correctly.
