Abstract

Zusammenfassung Das SPD-geführte Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales forderte eine Respekt-Rente ohne Bedürftigkeitsprüfung. Der Kompromiss mit CDU und CSU sieht nun eine Grundrente mit Bedarfsprüfung vor. Diese Kompromiss-Rente reduziert die Zahl der anspruchsberechtigten Rentner deutlich: Durch eine Einkommensprüfung verringert sich der Personenkreis von 2,5 Mio. auf 1,14 Mio. Rentner. Etwa 4 % aller westdeutschen und 7 % aller ostdeutschen Rentner werden von der Reform profitieren. Die Grundrente sorgt für einen durchschnittlichen Einkommenszuwachs für berechtigte Rentner von einem Drittel. Frauen erhalten im Durchschnitt 37 % mehr Rente, bei Männern sind es 29 % mehr.
