The CSU regional group in the Bundestag is calling for more pensions for single parents.
This emerges from a draft resolution for the meeting of the regional group next week in Berlin.
“Single parents often have a double responsibility alone.
Many work part-time and cut back on their earnings and thus also the acquisition of pension points, ”says the paper that was the first to report on“ Welt ”(Thursday) and which is also available to the German Press Agency.
"We therefore want to introduce a single parent's pension with surcharges on child-rearing times for the time as a single parent or single parent."
Claiming the single parent tax relief should serve as an indication that someone was a single parent for a certain period of time.
According to the CSU idea, this should be financed from tax revenues.
At the same time, the CSU reiterates its call for an expansion of the so-called mother's pension and for a fourth pillar of the pension: a generation fund into which the state pays 100 euros a month up to the age of 18.
“A fair pension system includes recognition of lifetime achievement.
That is why we want to complete the mother's pension with the third pension point and demand special consideration of the benefits of single parents in the pension, ”said state group leader Alexander Dobrindt of“ Welt ”.
In addition, they rely on the principle of "making earlier instead of working longer".
