Debate on Germany's pension reform and 'mini-jobs'
First report 13h agoLast update 5h agoThere is concern that scrapping Germany's tax-free 'mini-jobs' could negatively impact millions of workers and small businesses.
There is support for pension reforms that allow people to retire without deductions after 45 years of contributions and criticism of the current government's plans.
Some economists advocate for abolishing the widow's pension, arguing it's outdated and costly, proposing a pension splitting system instead.
