Deutsche müssen im Vergleich mit Italien und Frankreich länger arbeiten, bekommen aber viel weniger Rente.

Publisher’s rating: Falsch. Die Pension ist kein Prozentsatz des letzten Gehalts. Die Berechnung der Pensionsbezüge ist in jedem Land sehr komplex und von vielen Faktoren abhängig. Daher sind internationale Vergleiche unüblich und unseriös. Auch die Zeiten für den Ruhestand in den auf dem Sharepic genannten Ländern sind falsch.

The review says the pension figures are not directly comparable: Germany’s 48.1% figure describes the standard pension relative to average wages over time, not a share of a person’s last net salary. It also corrects the retirement-age comparison: Italy’s standard age is 67, as in Germany, while France’s age without deductions is 64. The review notes that pension amounts depend on multiple factors in each country.
