In the future, it will become much more attractive for older people to continue working even though they could retire. The federal government plans to adopt a package of measures on Wednesday to make employment for potential pensioners easier and more lucrative. “There will be no further increase in the statutory retirement age. But we are creating further financial incentives for employees who want to work longer voluntarily,” said Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil to the South German Newspaper.
