Well, and that's part of the problem no? When the economy improves why is not the welfare of the Germans improving? If not that their people have a better life, what it means that an economy is going well then?
We read about micro-jobs and how some retired people have to work again in one of the richest countries in the world.
What is the point of a stronger economy if the life is harder for their inhabitants?
I think that part of the answer is that this is a fight between countries only in appearance (or only as an excuse).
- JanSt 9y agoThe thing is that the conditions have changed considerably. In earlier times there were 3-4 people working for every retired person and the average retirement span was ~5 years. Now it's 2:1 and ~15 years in retirement. Something has to give, sadly...
- RobertoG 9y agoNot sure if I follow the reasoning. If now 1 person makes the work of 4, why something have to give? Is not the economy producing more than in 'early times'?
