Why Germany needs to reform its social security system | Berlin Briefing Podcast

Germany’s social security system is under pressure - from rising costs, an aging population, and political deadlock. In this episode, DW’s Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner discusses with her guests - Nicola Fuchs-Schündeln, President of the WZB Berlin Social Science Center, and DW political correspondent Matthew Moore - whether Germany can still afford its welfare state in the long term, whether Friedrich Merz’s coalition will agree on meaningful reforms, and what the future holds for pensions, social stability, and generational justice.
