Germany's Economy Minister proposes raising the retirement age to 70 for everyone. This proposal aims to address the significant deficit in the pension system, which requires substantial annual government funding. The coalition government is divided on the issue. The SPD suggests including self-employed and civil servants in the pension system. Experts also consider tiered retirement ages based on job type or a complete overhaul of the current system.
