Abstract

Mit den Rentenreformen der Jahre 2000 bis 2007 sollten die voraussehbaren Wirkungen des demografischen Wandels auf das Rentensystem bewältigt werden. Daher wurden das Rentenalter heraufgesetzt, das Rentenniveau gesenkt und ein so genannter Nachhaltigkeitsfaktor in die Rentenformel eingefügt. Mit diesem Vorgehen wurde ein grundsätzlicher Zielwechsel eingeleitet, von der Sicherung des Lebensstandards im Rentenalter zur Beitragssatzstabilität. Das in Zukunft niedrigere Rentenniveau soll durch den staatlich geförderten Aufbau eines privaten Kapitalstocks (Riesterrente) ohne Arbeitgeberbeteiligung ausgeglichen werden. Bei der Analyse der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Folgen dieser Reformen zeigt sich, dass der gewählte Übergang zu einer verstärkten Kapitaldeckung sowohl Wachstumsprobleme erzeugt als auch zu einer ungenügenden Sicherung im Alter führt. Die bisherige Strategie ist also zur Kompensation der demografischen Belastungen ungeeignet.
