Employers’ Associations Propose Linking Care Insurance Benefits to Life Expectancy
President Dulger advocates for a binding sustainability mechanism in care insurance, aligned with demographic trends.
In a recent statement to Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland, Dulger emphasized the need for a structural reorganization of Germany’s care insurance system. He proposed that benefits should be more focused on individuals requiring long-term assistance and suggested that non-insurance-related services should be financed through tax revenues rather than imposing additional burdens on contributors. Currently, contributions to care insurance are shared between employees and employers, highlighting the significance of this proposed reform.
