Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die deutsche Wirtschaft und die deutsche Gesellschaft als Ganze treiben auf ein demographisches Desaster zu. Der Grund ist weniger das kollektive Altern als die Millionen Kinder, die in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten nicht geboren worden sind, und die dadurch vorprogrammierten Spannungen in einem umlagefinanzierten Rentensystem. Auch ein fortdauernder positiver Wanderungssaldo wird ab dem Jahr 2030 den stark steigenden Abhängigenquotienten nicht verhindern. Kurzfristig geboten erscheint hier einmal eine nicht nur kosmetische Erhöhung des Renteneintrittsalters und eine effizientere Nutzung des Produktionsfaktors Arbeit durch mehr Ausbildung und Bildung sowie ein schrittweiser Rückbau der umlagefinanzierten Rente in Richtung Kapitaldeckung à la Riester.
