Countries in comparison: three things we do better than Germany

Date:

While the government in Austria is accused of “refusal to work” (Babler), it admires our neighbor Germany. Compared to the traffic light government, it is doing better in three areas, according to a report by ‘Bild’.

These include pensions, energy prices and the treatment of Ukrainian refugees. “The Austrians work up to five years less time than us – and still get more out of it,” they say. After 40 years, the minimum pension for singles is almost 1,600 euros – a value that, according to Labor Minister Martin Kocher (ÖVP), corresponds approximately to the German average pension after 45 years of paying contributions. However, Austrians also have more money deducted from their wages for their pension than Germans.

In this country, men retire on average at 62.1 years and receive 1,856.08 euros fourteen times a year. Pensioners receive an average of 1,310.74 euros. In our neighboring country, the average pension income is 1,332 euros for men and 118 euros for women. The benefit is paid out twelve times a year.
