The topic of the economy is very important to citizens. For good reason, one may assume. It gives them a sense of security and self-determination. Where does growth come from and how will pensions develop in Germany are questions that are swirling around the editorial team of Markus Gürne and the business magazine Wirtschaft vor Acht. Demographics are changing, the baby boomer generation is coming to an end and low birth rates are following. There is an initial gap of a good 20 million people in the German national budget. Added to this is longer life expectancy, to which prosperity also contributes. In view of this, however, it may be underestimated that people are no longer under so much physical strain and want to participate in working life and thus social structure for longer, apart from staying young for longer, which also seems to be demonstrably delayed.
